Enjoy the Victoria Falls Elephant Experience

The Elephant Encounter gives visitors the chance to quietly observe some of the most prominent figures in Africa in a wilderness setting brimming with unadulterated, unprocessed beauty. In the most positive and natural way possible, visitors interact with and spend time with elephants. Guests are treated to an instructive and educational presentation on the Wild Horizons Elephant Sanctuary and Orphange against the breathtaking backdrop of the Masuwe River from an open-design thatch boma. The refuge was established on the idea of conservation, and one of the best ways to instill a feeling of environmental stewardship is to highlight what is at risk.

Visitors will have the chance to speak with guides who have traveled far with these elephants, both literally and figuratively, and learn more about the intricate relationships between the individuals and the herds. In an engaging and educational discussion, visitors will learn about elephants, their history, how they came to be in our care, as well as the current dangers to elephant populations. Visitors will travel into the bush to interact with the elephants, and seeing the kind, gray animals up close and personal will stay in their memories long after they have left the resort. See the unique bond that elephant keepers have with their charges and join in on it.
