The Elephant Sanctuary in Plettenberg Bay provides a safe haven for the resident elephants and offers a unique platform for guest education and interaction. All the programs are guest and elephant driven, which means the most important part of the operation is to ensure happy elephants and satisfied guests. The close encounter with elephants truly is one of a kind. All the elephants are African Elephants (Loxodonta Africana) who are exercised and stimulated daily, which provides a firm foundation for trust. The Elephant Sanctuary is a family orientated operation catering for both young and old where you not only learn a lot about elephants, but also get to touch, feel, feed, walk trunk-in-hand and even ride these magnificent animals.
