Bucket List Item: Walk with elephants



Cost: R855 / person

We went to the garden route for our honeymoon and behaved like typical tourists, grabbing every tourist opportunity this beautiful part of our country has to offer.

Whilst driving from the Tsitsikamma to Knysna one day, we passed the Knysna Elephant Park and decided that we wanted to have a look-see. A great facility where animals are cared for and safely introduced to their fans. In the spur of the moment, we bought passes to walk with elephants - Jandré being very cautious.

The staff were terrific guiding us and letting us know exactly what the do's and don'ts are. What an experience to be walking alongside these magnificent creatures! 

The Knysna Elephant Park also offers elephant backrides, sunrise or sunset safaris, sundowners with elephants as well as sleepover with elephants.

What a precious photo!

Jandré kept the beautiful creatures at arms length.

Visitors get the opportunity to feed the animals over a rail
