Elephant Back Safaris

What better way to view game, rhythmically moving along,  on the back of the world’s greatest living mammal-the elephant-thought of being slow to forget, this beautiful giant allows mortals like ourselves upon her back.

The African elephant, together with her guide, slowly and gently ambles along, next to prides of lions, or nervous buck,. You will see Africa like no other experience has allowed.  

Pilansberg & Kruger National Park

Pilansberg National Park, as well as the  Kruger National Park, allows you to experience the ultimate joy at being atop of these magnificent, gentle beasts, holding your breath for the next surprise as the elephants gracefully and easily wind their way past herds or prides of game.

The scent of the elephants overpowers that of human beings, so you will be able to get closer to the wildlife than you ever dreamed imaginable. Both the Pilansberg and Kruger National  Parks have early morning rides, which are obviously beneficial to those wanting to see as much game as possible, but they also individually offer elephant viewing feeding times,  which can be as rewarding as riding these beautiful beasts.

Alternatively, you are able to arrange an outride in the afternoon with the elephants- spend your time at your luxurious lodge, or just go for the day- accommodation, whether you would like it self-catering, or living in upmarket style with  an elephant herd in sublime surroundings, can be arranged by Accommodation South Africa!
