Elephant Sanctuary Tour: Unique Care for Young African Elephants in Johannesburg

The Elephant Sanctuary serves as a transitional refuge for young African elephants requiring a provisional dwelling. It remains the sole facility in South Africa catering to the elephant’s needs in this manner. Our aspiration is to reintroduce each of these elephants into a setting where they can attain greater independence as they age.

Excellent Visit - Injured, deserted elephants are taken care in an excellent way. You learn a lot about the elephants, even their anatomy. Then you can touch, ride and even get a kiss. I’ve never been so close to an elephant and it is a great experience. All parents should go with their kids (while unfortunately the entrance fee is a bit too high)

Elephants & Lions - I thought all of the animals could roam freely, but basically they're all trained to do something, or behind fences. Tanzania's motto is "there are no fences" so the animals can go anywhere. Not so at this "sanctuary".
