An Elephant Back Safari is an experience that you will never forget. Ride, learn about and interact with these majestic creatures. Meet Lundi, Tatu, Moka and others in their natural surroundings of the game-rich Nakavango Estate just 15 minutes drive from the Victoria Falls. NOT TO BE MISSED.

 

Elephant Back Safaris

Upon arrival, your guide will give a quick introductory talk and safety briefing. You will then be introduced to your induna (elephant carer) and the elephants themselves. On mounting the elephants, the safari begins – view game whilst riding game, savouring the experience of crashing through the African bush atop a gigantic pachyderm. Your safari ends with a short training session and interaction with the elephants followed by breakfast, lunch or snacks (depending on the safari).
