Elephant Back Safaris
ELEPHANT TRIPS
PILANESBERG NATIONAL PARK
SUN CITY LODGE ACTIVTIES
Guests staying in the Pilanesberg area are invited to join Pilanesberg Elephant Back Safaris on a unique and extraordinary African adventure. Join Chikwenya, Sharu, Sapi, Mana and Michael for a game viewing experience with a difference, on elephant back, as though part of this special herd.
These elephants are all orphans as a result of reduction exercises carried out by the Zimbabwe National Parks Department in the 1980's. Most orphans were sold to Zoo's and Circus's around the world; however these were fortunate enough to stay on African soil and passed their early lives on private game farms. They were soon to outgrow this lifestyle and Wild Horizons in an effort to improve and secure the elephants existing lifestyle, created this amazing safari experience. In 2002, Wild Horizons created Pilanesberg Elephant-Back Safaris. Join Chikwenya and her herd for an amazing safari and at the same time a deeper insight into their lifestyle and history.
