An uplifting experience that offers a newfound appreciation of elephants, and providing a more personal and deeper understanding of these gentle giants.

Fancy an elephant as your tour guide? Now you can with our unique elephant interaction in partnership with the Living with Elephants Foundation in Botswana's Okavango Delta. Stay at Sanctuary Stanley’s Camp or Sanctuary Baines' Camp and you can meet with Jabu, Thembi and Morula, a trio of semi-habituated orphaned elephants. Observe and interact with them while leisurely walking in their big, silent footsteps through the wilderness. For a truly uplifting experience that leaves a lasting impression on all who share their time with the elephants, this rewarding activity in Botswana is a must.

MEET JABU, MORULA & THEMBI

Our beloved elephant trio show guests how they look for food, strip leaves from branches with their long trunks and take showers in the lagoons of the Okavango Delta. What better guide to the Botswana bush than a fully-grown African elephant? Even Sanctuary's famously brilliant guides bow to these elephants' innate knowledge and bush-sense. This activity includes a leisurely paced walk with a trio of semi-habituated elephants, observing and interacting with them, and a picnic lunch in their company. To avoid disappointment, pre-booking is recommended.
