Elephant Safaris

These are some of the very best safaris possible in Africa!  We  adore elephants because of their complicated yet endearing family structure – the unique bonding of the matriarchal society and their unique intelligence.

We offer the most amazing elephant back safaris. Probably the most unique are in Botswana where one can embark upon an elephant back safari for three days or more. Although not cheap, if you can afford it – its the experience of a lifetime! Spend time with a herd of elephant and learn about their family structure, riding on the back of them with your mahout through the waters of the Okavango Delta.  Next up, also in Botswana is the elephant experience with Doug Groves. Four hours are set aside whilst one takes an elephant on a walk – one of his three orphans whom he has habituated on an elephant walking safari. Doug, being a zoologist, gives you four hours of unabated pleasure and an insight into these magnificent pachyderms!

Then, in Kenya, for a donation (which goes directly to  Save The Elephant Research Centre), one can go out with a researcher in Samburu National Park and learn all about collaring the elephants, identifying families and learning about their migratory routes. Lastly, in Kenya, is the Daphne Sheldrick Elephant Orphanage. This is such a worthwhile charity! Here one can see orphaned calves being nursed and nurtured back to health before joining a matriarchal herd in Tsavo National park.

Alternately, for those simply wanting to go to parks which have lots of elephants, we can suggest Tanzania, Kenya, Zimbabwe, Zambia and Botswana at certain times of year.All of these safaris are designed around you and your hobbies and interests!
