Elephant Back Safaris - the talk of the town!

Elephant Back Safaris is turning into the talk of the town and one can just image why! Not only is this an unique and thrilling way to get up close and personal with the largest living mammal on land, but it can also turn out to be a great adventure experience all together.

Being on an animal that weights up to 6 tons is surely not an experience that the majority of people will be able to experience in their lifetime – making it even more so an experience not to miss out on.

We in the Garden Route are so privileged to have this unique experience right at our doorsteps.

The Knysna Elephant Park, situated between Knysna and Plettenberg Bay on route to Port Elizabeth, offers you this once in a lifetime opportunity to ride on one of the Big-Five. On one of these Elephant Back Safaris you will be able to see the spectacular views of the Outeniqua mountain range.

Moderately fit, long trousers, good walking shoes, hat, sunscreen, insect repellent & camera.
