Voucher - Elephant Moments Elephant experience

Hoedspruit And Kapama Private Game Reserve

Book now for an inspirational 90-minute morning Elephant Experience. Open daily from 06:30 - 08:00. Pre-Booking Essential. Book online, or e-mail elephantmoments@herd.org.za or Watsapp +27 78 532 3645

Activity Description

Be inspired, enlightened, educated and enthused by this memorable and respectful opportunity to meet and learn more about some of the Jabulani herd elephants and their passionate carers.

Arrive at sunrise to meet a few members of an extraordinary family, the Jabulani Herd. Delve deeper into the biology and physiology of these gentle giants while learning about each elephant’s unique personalities and remarkable stories.

The respectful 90-minute experience takes place at the Jabulani elephant stables, which borders the HERD elephant orphanage. The Orphanage does not allow the public to visit their premises or to view the orphans, to keep their stress levels to a minimum.

The Jabulani Herd elephants that you will meet represent the rest of the herd which they join a little later to continue foraging during their days in the Kapama Private Reserve. There will be between two to three elephants introduced who remain behind a low partition creating a respectful distance between the elephants and the visitors.

Visitors will have an opportunity to provide some elephant snacks to each elephant, as well as a chance to take a snapshot memory of the memorable experience, with the guidance of the carers.

Complimentary coffee and tea with biscuits will be provided upon arrival and available to enjoy until the end of the experience.

Following your Elephant Moments experience, you will have the opportunity to purchase a souvenir in our gift shop, with proceeds going towards the HERD TRUST.

Please note: the Jabulani Lodge Guests enjoy a variety of exclusive elephant experiences different to the Elephant Moments Mornings. For more information about the lodge experience go to www.jabulanisafari.com

Customer Reviews

One of the most humbling experiences of our lives. It will change the way you look at Elephants in future even if you're an RSA Citizen and saw them in the KNP. Difficult to explain the magic of the up-close encounter. Well organized and not hurried. - Cronje


Nice experience!!! - Raul


One of the most beautiful experiences I have ever had absolutely enjoyed it - Winnie


Fantastic and unforgettable moment with 3 elephants. - Gauthier


Laerskool Louis Trichardt's experience at Elephant Moments was truly exceptional. Every single staff member made us feel welcome and assisted in our every need. The encounter with the elephants was life changing as always. We will be back to share this wonderful experience with another group of children. God bless. - Laerskool
