Interactive Wildlife Adventures – Elephant Back Safaris
South Africa is the home of adventure and fantastic wildlife! Why not combine these two amazing aspects of South Africa together and go on an interactive wildlife experience?
Wildlife is one of the biggest attractions in South Africa and each year it draws thousands of tourists to our beautiful country. The most world renowned of these animals is of course the celebrated “Big Five” – Buffalo, Elephants, Lions, Leopards, Rhino!
South Africa now has fantastic interactive wildlife experiences available that come in many forms. There are rehabilitation centre’s, where you can reach out and touch the animals, learn about them and their habits and experience firsthand what it takes to care for them before releasing them back into the wild. Spier Wine Estate in the Western Cape is home to the renowned Cheetah Research Centre and here you are able to get up close and personal with hand reared Cheetahs – perfect for photographic opportunities and also a great way to contribute to the conservation of these remarkable creatures. The Hoedspruit Endangered Species Centre, in the Limpopo Province, focuses on the conservation of rare, vulnerable or endangered animals. Cheetah Conservation is one of their core disciplines and a visit here offers a perfect learning opportunity. The HESC also offers an intensive, hands-on Student’s Programme to conservation and adventure enthusiasts from around the world.
But, one of the most amazing experiences for many is the opportunity to get up close and personal with African Grey Elephants, probably the most majestic of all the African animals. An elephant back safari is not just a ride on the largest animal in Africa, it’s an unforgettable experience where people get to interact with the elephants as well as enjoy a ride through wilderness areas and beautiful riverine scenery. All the elephants at these sanctuaries are well cared for and much loved with excellent living conditions and personal trainers who adore them. This is the perfect way to get up close and personal and understand these stately African creatures. It truly offers a safari of a lifetime.
There are many places in South Africa that offer Elephant Back Safaris, but if you really want to treat yourself to an amazing and unforgettable experience, then you must stay at Camp Jabulani in the Kapama Game Reserve. It is an experience not to be missed!
We hope you enjoy your African Safari!
