Join us for an enlightening interactive elephant experience; meet our five magnificent African elephants and learn about their extraordinary behaviour and physiology, observing first-hand how the elephants have developed trust in the kindness and care they receive from the team.
Visitors to the Centre experience life-changing moments when they encounter the elephants, the Elephant Whispers Team work hard to translate this into an understanding of the need for long-term, sustainable wildlife conservation, and elephant conservation in particular.
For those seeking an enjoyable meaningful experience, an elephant interaction at Elephant Whispers is a memorable and touching activity not to be missed. The mighty elephant is the world’s largest living land animal, the mere sight of these impressive tusked creatures inspires awe and respect.
WELL WORTH A VISIT
…this was a unique experience to not only interact with these beautiful animals but to be able to touch them and to learn a lot about them. All the staff with whom we interacted were superb, gentle with the animals and we came away from Elephant Whispers on a high. Not only were the team members extremely knowledgeable but they ensured that it was a highly enjoyable and unforgettable experience to adults and the children. I can highly recommend this visit.
