Overview

Located on the northern side of the Magaliesberg Mountain range, the Elephant Sanctuary provides a safe haven for elephants that have been rescued from abuse and illegal ownership and offers visitors educational programs that ar guest and elephant driven, meaning the most important part of the operation is to ensure happy elephants and satisfied guests. All the elephants are African Elephants (Loxodonta Africana) whose trust has been gained through unique reward based training. Elephant Sanctuary believes in forming bonds between humans and elephants. All the elephants are exercised and stimulated daily, which provides a firm foundation for trust.

The Elephant Sanctuary is a family oriented operation catering for both young and old. You will not only learn a lot about elephants, but also get to touch, feel, feed, walk trunk-in-hand with these magnificent animals.
