Customer Reviews

I had an exceptional experience, from the booking process to the actual encounter. Not only was I handled with care, but I also felt completely safe throughout. A special mention to the guide who accompanied me during the walk with Thandi---he was professional, knowledgeable, and an absolute joy. The same level of excellence was extended to everyone on duty that day. What I appreciated most was how well the elephants were cared for and the respect and honor with which they were treated. It was truly heartwarming to witness. I have already been recommending this experience to anyone willing to listen. In conclusion, it was an unforgettable experience---one that I would definitely do again in the future. The photographer was also highly professional and captured the most beautiful moments. Thank you! - Dr.


We absolutely loved our stay at the Elephant Experience. Kuda was a fantastic guide and really informative. We'll definitely come back. Five stars. - Trevor


It was an amazing experience that my family and I will never forget. Thank you. Please continue your work to make the amazing elephants happy and healthy. - Stephanie


Do not miss out. A memorable and moving experience up close to these extraordinary creatures. We did the morning walk of about 40 minutes alongside and almost within touching distance of Sally the herd matriarch. Our guide was friendly, enthusiastic and very happy to answer our questions. we also had the wonderful opportunity to talk to Geoffrey who has been at the centre from the very start - I think he said 30 years. The walk was followed by an excellent breakfast included in the price. We then had the opportunity of following on with another walk and a "feeding experience". We were given a small bucket of apple and beetroot slices. the elephants extended their trunks and quickly snaffled them up. A bit of competition led to those deep bass rumbles and even a trumpet. An experience to be remembered for ever - many thanks. - Bob


This is the most amazing experience to have. Walking with the Elephants was well organised, very knowledgeable staff and i didn't feel rushed at all during the walk. Amazing experience and loved every moment. - Jacqueline
