An African Elephant Adventure…
An Age-Old Concept, A Brand New Adventure – Elephant Back Safaris and Elephant Interactions

Elephant Back Safari in the Pilansberg

Elephant Back Safari in the Pilansberg

The African Elephant and their plight across the African continent remains one of the greatest and most controversial issues for modern day conservationists. With wild habitats for elephant populations shrinking the total amount of land for these herds are being reduced at an alarming rate! Man’s relationship with elephants in Africa is a colorful and fascinating story, dating back as far as 218BC where elephants were captured and trained by the Carthaginians and used as vehicles of war… With their defeat the tradition of working elephants all but died out until the early 20th Century when King Leopold of the Belgian Congo set out to realize his dream of training the African Elephant. An elephant training school was set up in Garamba, in the heart of the Congo and for a while thrived. Today the camp still exists but the ravages of war and unrest leaves only 4 elephants as a legacy to this ancient tradition of the past.

A brand new adventure emerges…..

Pilanesberg Elephant-Back Safaris

In 2002 Pilanesberg Elephant-Back Safari started in South Africa bringing with them 5 special elephants: Chikwenya, Sapi, Michael, Mana and Sharu and their handlers. The translocation operation was ‘mammoth’ and whilst traumatic at the time, has been a great success. The elephants have settled well into their new home on South African soil and visitors to the Pilanesberg/Sun City area are now able to witness this wonderful concept.  “The spirit of these Great Creatures will Never leave you…..”
