Such a well organised and magical experience. All the staff were so helpful and friendly. it was very special to be able to interact with the elephants. The team are doing an amazing job and they need your support.

Amazing! We did the sunrise ride, and it was cold (in mid July) but warmed up once the sun came out. You begin by "getting to know the elephants" (petting them), then you ride. My mom and I ended up on the dominant male elephant of the herd, and he really had a mind of his own. He was trying... More

We ended up doing the elephant "encounter" rather than the ride. We had done rides before, so we just wanted to interact with an elephant up-close, because we had seen so many during game drives. The whole service was super well run. Paul--the guy running our excursion that day, went out of his way to make sure we had a... More

Had a great time doing this activity. The guides were informative and knowledgable. I learned a lot during my time with them. They are very respectful of these great animals. It was interesting to learn that they are rescued orphaned elephants. Also during the the walk my guide was able to talk about the flora and fauna along the way.... More

The "safari" experience is not a true safari. The preserve has the "big five" but we saw no other animals other than the trained elephants we rode. Our guide was with two of us on the elephant. Our leader, "Simon" walked with a rifle, " just in case." We asked if he ever needed it, and were told, "No." The... More

We'd seen elephants a few times on safari & it was always fun to watch them munch & walk a long with their little ones...it was fantastic to see this from the back of an elephant! We even had the babies come along with us & had to stop for a bit while N'lady took a milk break! This thrilled... More

We had the opportunity to partake in the elephant back safari after spending time 'walking with lion's' in the morning. It is at the same venue, run by a different set of people. Having had a short briefing we were introduced to our elephant and guide and helped aboard the gentle giants. We took a leisurely peaceful ride through the... More

We did the elephant back safari and had a fantastic time. After an introduction from Handsome on what to expect, we "boarded" our elephant Bungi for our ride through the open country and waded through a small creek/river before returning to watch a video of ourselves with the elephants while enjoying a lovely platter of snacks and cold drinks. We... More

We took the elephant back safari arranged for us by Wild Horizons Tour Company and had a fantastic time. We rode the elephant for an hour through the open forest and up & down a small river bank before returning. We rode behind our guide and felt completely comfortable. A ranger was on the ground with a rifle in the... More
