Customer Reviews

An amazing experience! we had all our questions answered by a team that was clearly responsible and committed to the cause and to their customers. We wished we could spend all afternoon and not only one hour. It is a must go experience! - Luciana


The last day of our holiday in South Africa and one of the most memorable. One hour of amazement and awe with very informative team. A privilege to be so close to the elephants. Worth every penny. Best wishes to all at Elephant Whispers. - Susan


This was an incredible experience! My family and I did the elephant encounter and learned so much about elephants. The trainers exclusively use positive reinforcement to train the elephants and they impressed us with what they know. Getting to get up close and personal with Tambo the elephant may have been the highlight of our trip to South Africa. I highly recommend this if you are visiting Hazyview! - Karen


Absolutely loved this experience! Elephants are looked after with great care and the interaction with the staff was both friendly and informative. Would highly recommend! - Joanna


It was an absolutely amazing experience. I did it for my 22nd Birthday and wouldn't have wanted to any other memories other than having the experience that I did. I would hands down recommend it to anyone and I would without a do it again in a heartbeat. Thank you to all the guides for the awesome hands-on experience. - Skye
