This is a beautiful facility. The guide did an excellent job of presenting African elephants habitat and lifestyle. The handlers also did an excellent job and appear to truly care for the animals

Great day and Norman the driver was very knowledgeable and gave us a great history of south Africa. The elephant sanctuary was exciting and explained many aspects of the elephants and how they live. We paid extra for the ride on the elephant and it is short but fun. You may get a little dirty during the course of the day since you are touching the elephants but there is always a tap or hose nearby for hand washing. Getting so close to touch and feed the elephants was great. There is a little store there to buy souvenirs or drinks. Don't forget to see the meercats to the right before entering. It is free and they are cute to watch! The tour was on time and everything was explained in the description.
