A once in a lifetime safari adventure - at one with nature, following in the footsteps of the ancients... We offer you the exhilarating experience of riding these magnificent animals - revel in the natural beauty of the environs and its wildlife from your lofty seat as these gentle giants amble through the African bush. After the ride, walk with them through the diverse valley bushveld, ravine and forest habitat then at the conclusion of the walk enjoy a close-up view of the elephants swimming and frolicking in their favoured waterhole from the viewing deck at the boma - no guarantee that you won't get sprayed with a trunkful of water!

We also cater for weddings and offer luxury accommodation; have a look at our other listing
