Details
After breakfast, be picked up at your hotelĀ and transferred to the Wild HorizonsĀ Elephant Sanctuary for a fabulous experience at yourĀ Elephant Encounter.
The Wild Horizons Elephant Sanctuary and Orphanage has been a haven to a mirage of orphaned and injured elephants since its conception in 1992. Whilst hand-rearing these orphans, we have come to understand that the best way to appreciate these magnificent creatures is to watch them living wildly and freely, and The Elephant Encounter will give guests the opportunity to unobtrusively interact with some of the biggest personalities in Africa, in a pristine environment overflowing with raw natural beauty.
An open-design thatch Boma gives guests an uninterrupted view of the beautiful Masuwe River, and against this breathtaking backdrop, guests will be given an insightful and educational presentation on the sanctuary and the individual elephants, their lifestyle and their future release plans. The sanctuary was founded on the principle of conservation, and one of the most effective ways to evoke a sense of environmental responsibility is to show what stands to be lost. Guests will have an opportunity to talk to guides that have journeyed, physically and metaphorically, incredible distances with these elephants, and learn more about the complexities of the individuals and the herd structures. Guests will learn about the elephantās history and how they came to be in our care as well as the threats facing elephant populations today, in an interesting and informative talk.
Guests will venture into the bush to spend time with the elephants and the sight of the gentle grey mammals, seen up close and personal, will be imprinted on guestsā minds long after they have returned home.
Witness the special relationship our staff shares with the elephants and become a part of it. You will have the opportunity to take photographs with the elephants. Marvel at their size and watch them behaving normally; browsing and interacting with one another.
After the encounter with these amazing creatures, you will be offered a selection of hot and cold canapƩs and drinks including local beers, wines, soft drinks, water, coffee and tea.
