Addo Elephant Encounters Tour
Imagine yourself seated 10 ft. in the air, on the back of a 6-ton elephant, slowly making your way through the open, wild landscapes of Africa. Enjoy the exhilarating experience of riding these magnificent animals in their natural habitat as they gently amble through the African bush. Your lofty ride is followed by an experiential walk, side-by-side with these elephants, whilst trained and qualified handlers share their specialized knowledge and insight into both the elephants and the unique eco-system in which they live. The walk allows you to interact with, feed, and observe the elephants. Conclude your safari with the possibility of enjoying a close-up view of the elephants swimming and frolicking in their favourite waterhole from a viewing deck at the boma.
