More about Elephant Interaction & Ride

Experience the intelligence and compassionate nature of African elephants on this interactive elephant experience in Hazyview. You’ll have a chance to get to know the elephants better and touch them to feel their rough skin. You’ll also experience exchanging trunk greetings with your new friends.

Once you’re comfortable, professional elephant handlers will help you get onto the elephant’s back for a ride through the bush to see the world from their point of view. You’ll be able to get off at any time and walk during your elephant experience. Afterwards, you’ll enjoy a three-course lunch at Hippo Hollow.

Benita

Very impressed. Staff was excellent with both the tourists and the elephants. I grew up close to the Kruger and thought that I new everything with regards to elephants. Wrong, the interaction and information shared was way above my wildest expectations. I gladly promote the experience to all my friends and colleagues.


Javier SANCHEZ

Elephant Whispers is a wonderful place amidst lush gardens. Personal is very friendly and we always feel free to ask them any questions we want about the elephants. They know very well these incredible animals. The interaction with the elephants was an incredible moment. The ride with Tembo was really an incredible moment too for the whole family. Hippo Hollow is also a nice place and we really enjoyed the good food at their restaurant. We wilk keep plenty of good memeries of this wonderful day. Thank you !


Elsabe Kruger
