Hartbeespoort Elephant Sanctuary Walking Experience

We cater to senior citizens and families with small children and babies on this tour because the walking distances are short and relatively flat. It is a very special once-in-a-lifetime experience to walk with elephants and see these gentle giants up close and on foot. These elephants have grown up with humans and so they allow humans in their space. The relationship with humans is based on their routine and on food and the elephants tell us how much interaction or closeness they are ok with or not, through their body language interpreted by the guides so it allows for a very relaxed natural interaction while they are feeding.
