We just love it when guests completely immerse themselves in our elephant encounters...."An unbelievable full day experience never to be beaten. An amazing day from start to finish. If you love elephants then do the full day tour. We started at 8am and stayed for 9 hours... it was incredible! We had breakfast and a lovely lunch outside and learnt so much just by observing these magnificent animals." Tridadvisor review.

TEETH TALK - Unlike humans, elephants don't have just one set of adult teeth. Throughout their lives, they grow and replace six sets of massive molars, moving forward through the jaw like a conveyor belt, as older teeth wear down from grinding tough vegetation.

An adult elephant's molar can weigh several kilograms and is specially designed to process hundreds of kilograms of food every day. It's just one of the many incredible adaptations that make these gentle giants so fascinating.
