Elephant Experience
Activities

Elephant Experience

Visit Elephant Experience in Oudtshoorn

None of our elephants have been taken from the wild for captivity.

The three elephants were orphaned when the adults were poached. Our elephants come from circumstances that if we did not intervene they would not be alive today. We did not choose this life for them but we rather chose to give them the best possible life within our means with the best possible love and care.

ELEPHANT FEEDING

Hourly from 09:00 to 16:00 depending on availability.

While feeding our elephants you will experience them (Jabari, Malaika and Bulelo) up close and personal. You will find they may be huge, but are gentle as can be. You may feed them, touch them and take photos with them while our skilled elephant guides share their knowledge of these gentle giants with you. Afterwards they will even reward you with an elephant hug as a special goodbye.
