Traversing the African veld in the company of these majestic giants is a rare privilege indeed. With ears flapping noisily, trunks swinging and the soft padding of huge feet this is an incredible experience. Following a carefully planned route through the reserve, gently amble across the bush getting closer to wildlife than is usual. Antelope, zebra and wildebeest will continue to graze unconcerned by the proximity of the elephants with their human companions atop.

Working closely with renowned elephant trainer Rory Hensmann and his team at the organisation Elephants for Africa Forever, these extensively trained elephants and their grooms offer the chance of a lifetime and with long- lasting memories guaranteed.
