Reviews
Visiting this place was a highlight for our family as we celebrated our 53rd wedding anniversary. It was an incredibly exciting and memorable experience for us, as well as our daughters and grandchildren. The elephants are well-trained and safe to interact with; we had the chance to feed them and even get an elephant kiss if we wanted.
We thoroughly enjoyed our day on this tour. It was incredible to interact closely with the elephants and monkeys. Jason, our attentive driver, shared a wealth of information about the region during our ride. This is truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Make sure to take this tour.
The guide was fantastic, providing detailed explanations throughout the journey and offering enjoyable company. Our family thoroughly enjoyed the sanctuary; it was an ideal experience for us.
This was an experience unlike any I've had before. The elephants were truly incredible and well cared for, and the monkeys were fantastic as well.
I had a fantastic experience interacting closely with elephants and monkeys. The journey from Johannesburg to the Sanctuary is stunning and would be worth walking. I highly recommend it. The translation service provided was also very punctual and professional.
This tour stands out as one of the most amazing experiences I've had in my 50 years of traveling. Observing and interacting with the monkeys was fascinating, but the elephants truly captivated me. The joy of walking, feeding, and touching them up close was unparalleled. My guide, Thabelo Thathani, was exceptionally knowledgeable, friendly, and humorous, adding an unexpected delight to the day. Choosing this tour with Thabelo as your guide will undoubtedly provide you with a treasured memory for years to come. It’s truly one of the best tours ever.
Our day spent with the elephants and monkeys was fantastic. Jason was an excellent guide, sharing interesting history about South Africa and its provinces along with some amusing jokes.
My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed the chance to get close to the elephants and monkeys. It was a truly fun and unique experience. Jason was also an excellent driver.
Jason is exceptionally knowledgeable and a genuinely great person. He is professional, punctual, and friendly, embodying the essence of a true tour guide. His vehicle is superior—clean and very comfortable. His understanding of the local flora and fauna is remarkable, along with his extensive knowledge of the region. I would highly recommend him to anyone in search of an excellent guide and tour leader.
The entire experience was flawlessly organized. Being up close to the majestic elephants, the gentle giants, was truly unforgettable. The preserve is home to 165 adorable monkeys; I had the chance to feed them, and some even climbed on me. One mischievous monkey took my sunglasses, but my guide Sam was able to retrieve them.
