Tour Description

There is something magical about swaying through the African bush on the back of an elephant. The 12 fully trained African elephants arrived at Kapama in early 2002, after being relocated from Zimbabwe, where their safety was in jeopardy.

During the elephant-back safari, guests are seated on comfortable canvas-covered saddles positioned behind an experienced elephant hander. From this vantage point, they are able to view game from close proximity as the elephants move silently and in single file through the bush.

The unique and memorable experience of interacting with Africa’s gentle giants will be savoured long after guests alight from the patiently kneeling elephants. Depart the lodge at 05h30 (seasonal) and fly direct to Kapama. Land next to the watering hole of the elephants. Board the elephants approximately as the sun is rising and after your safari, enjoy champagne and fruit juice and fruit.
