Quick Details
Be a little different and go safari on the back of an African elephant through the Victoria Falls National Park in Zimbabwe.
After riding your elephant for 45 minutes, you get the opportunity to participate in a close up-interaction to feed, touch, and bond with the gentle giant. You learn about their natural habitat, individuality, character traits, and life stories while encountering abundant wildlife. This is an incredible opportunity to meet the wildlife in Victoria Falls and have a memorable adventure of an elephant ride during your African safari.
You’re taken to a private game reserve, 20 minutes from the town centre, where you’re welcomed with refreshment and a detailed safety talk.
Your next challenge on your African elephant ride is to mount these enormous creatures, which are taught to walk alongside you, and with the help of a wooden platform that is almost level with the elephant, you climb on top and sit in a custom built saddle. You then meet your “Induna” who is the elephant’s handler and driver. Each Induna has spent years forming a close bond with their elephant, learning their character traits and behaviour patterns. Your Induna also serves as your guide to the African bush.
You get to learn about these amazing creatures through touching, hearing, smelling, and seeing them up-close, which is an indescribable experience. Although an elephant is huge you’ll be surprised to learn that they’re extremely silent allowing you to experience the wildlife in a much more natural way.
Finally, you’re shown a short video of your safari experience which you have the opportunity to purchase afterwards. Then a wonderful cooked bush breakfast or snacks are served, depending on the time of day, after which you’re returned to town.
