When my 3 year old saw a picture of people on elephants, he was desperate to go! So we got there 1st thing in the morning (8.30am) and were the only two on the first trip. This was therefore an even more amazing experience- being the only ones feeding and being among the ellies. My son actually got quite a... more

This was honestly the highlight of our trip. This elephant park allows you to interact directly with the elephants whithout being circus or zoo-like.

You need to allow at least an hour... more

They took us out to see the elephants as soon as we got there (late after a really long drive from Cape Town) and let my young daughters (5 and 7) feed the baby elephants. We stayed in the elephant lodge, which I would... more

In November, when we have been in Joburg, we found by chance a flyer of the Knysna elephant park, and we thought, it would be something new for us to see. And, after we were there, we are very thankfull for this chance, but, step by step. We planed to stay two nights and started with an inquiry by eMail... more
