Customer Reviews

Such a wonderful experience and a privilege to meet and spend time with these gentle giants. I loved them so much and especially enjoyed getting to feed them some fruit and veg! - Rachel


Fantastic experience - such a well run sanctuary, very friendly staff - and the Elephants........ WOW what a privilege to be so close up and personal with these beautiful animals. - David


We had the most amazing time here, the experience of walking close to such magnificent animals in a small group with knowledgeable, friendly guides was really quite special. The facilities at camp are great - the cafe was excellent, clean well maintained facilities. Overall an great afternoon. Thank you - Andrew


We spent two nights at Knysna Elephant Park in March 2026 and took the opportunity to do an elephant walk whilst we were there. It was an amazing experience and one that will be forever remembered. It was well organised and we felt completely safe. These elephants are gentle giants that have been rescued and looked after by rangers that truly care for their welfare. They each have quite distinct characteristics and they are clearly happy and content. - Gordon


The Elephant Experience was absolutely brilliant, the walk around the park with your dedicated Elephant and Guide, was enjoyable, asking as many questions as you wish, and the guide telling you all about the Elephants and how they arrived at Knysa. Would recommend anyone thinking about doing it, definitely do it, and the stay in the lodge was great. - Wendy
