Elephant Back Safaris, Pilanesberg / Sun City

The Elephant Back Safaris which are offered in the Pilanesberg National Park are an adventurous activity.

Choose from Sunrise, Mid Morning and Sunset Elephant Back Safaris to complement your stay in the African wild.

For the Elephant Back Safaris, guests are picked up at the Gametrackers Outdoor Adventure desk, which is located at the Welcome Center at the Sun City Resort.

The transfer to "the Elephant Wallow" from the Sun City Resort will take approximately 20 minutes through the Letsatsing Game Reserve giving guests an opportunity to view game on the way.

On arrival at the Letsatsing Game Reserve, welcome drinks are served and guests are given an introductory talk while being introduced to the elephants and their handlers. The Elephants are then saddled and the safari begins. After approximately an hour on elephant back, guests return to "the Elephant Wallow" where light snacks await them.
