Everyone knows the story of Mogli the little jungle boy who grew up in the midst of wolves and marched with the herd of Hathi, the elephant. Have you ever thought about joining them, when you read the book? Here is your opportunity to become part of the herd!

Meet the Gentle Giants

You’ve been on many game drives and think you’ve seen it all? This unique experience will bring you closer to wildlife than you’ve ever thought possible. Imagine you could touch giant African elephants, feed them, take a mud bath or even swim with them. But that`s not all. During your stay in the Okavango Delta you will be integrated into the herd and its social life. You will learn a lot about their mannerisms and habits. The elephants will get accustomed to you and the vice versa. Soon you will be accepted as a member of their family.

Intimate Elephant Encounters

After getting familiar with these stunning and intelligent animals you will start your safari, riding on the back of an elephant. But don’t worry: you don’t need to have an “elephant driving license”. You’ll sit on the passenger seat.

To discover the wildlife from an elephant’s perspective is breathtaking. You will appreciate nature on a different level. It’s the best way of interacting with the nature. The wildlife surrounding you will not identify you as an intruder. Hence, you can observe the wildlife acting in its purest manner.

Another advantage of an elephant back safari is that you can pass flooded passages because of the much higher clearance compared with a vehicle. You are able to explore areas that are inaccessible on foot or in safari vehicles.
