Time spent in the company of the elephants passes by so quickly; if one of the shorter activities lasting an hour or two is not enough time, the Half Day, or Full Day elephant activities may be the ideal activity for you. These extended activities offer a more in-depth elephant experience to visitors wanting to join the elephants in their day-to-day activities, and be part of the team caring for them.

BECOME A WELCOME MEMBER OF THE ELEPHANT WHISPER’S HERD FOR A MORNING…
Your morning with the elephant starts with Tembo, Shamwari, Ziziphus, Lindiwe, and Andile ambling down the pathway in the morning light to meet you. After introductions and offering elephant treats, enjoy the privilege of helping brush the elephants and experience morning exercises; learning how to gently interact with the elephant, and witnessing the unique relationship the Elephant Handlers enjoy with each elephant.
A typical elephant ramble follows; meandering down shady paths and enjoying regular stops for elephant breakfast feasting. After a breakfast snack and refreshments on the deck overlooking the Sabie valley, join in the elephant activities until midday. End your elephant experience, weather permitting during the warmer months, with a picnic lunch on the deck while the elephants enjoy their swim and mud bath.
