Customer Reviews

It was awesome. Once in a lifetime experience. I would recommend to everyone. All the employees were very helpful and friendly. I will definitely come back. Thank you very much. - Terry


Worth every penny! We made my 4yr olds dream come true. His face was priceless. We've done most of, if not all of the animal experiences around the Plett/Crags area over the years and my husband and I both agree this was so special. It's not every day an elephant sneezes on you! Thank you for the opportunity! - Liron


We enjoyed our stay very much and will never forget this experience. Everyone there is so friendly and kind, the elephants were breathtaking! - Jacqueline


One of most magical experience I've ever had! We had so much time with the elephants and got up the closest rig possibly can. The staff were so friendly, fun and really informative. I had the best day and would definitely recommend the trunk in hand walk. The elephants seemed so gentle and sweet too! - Hania


We had a lovely day at the elephant sanctuary in Plettenberg Bay. Our guide and the staff were very knowledgable and friendly. It was an experience to never forget. - Andrew
