If your family loves chasing fresh air and being in the outdoors, the Hazyview Elephant Sanctuary, in Hazyview, Mpumalanga, offers unforgettable elephant interaction experiences.
Hazyview Elephant Sanctuary is actually part of Elephant Sanctuary South Africa, which runs two other amazing African Elephant Sanctuaries in Plettenberg Bay and Hartebeespoortdam.
The African elephant is the largest existing land animal. Unlike on a safari at a game reserve, at the Elephant Sanctuary, you actually get an opportunity to get close to the elephants. The animals have been domesticated over the years and as a result, can be safely interacted with.
Their professional and very knowledgeable guides, will be on hand to lead you and your family on a journey of discovery into the world of these majestic creatures.

The guides were professional, they made you feel at ease, they were helpful in taking photos for you and informing you and reassuring you. The Elephants are Breathtakingly Huge and yet so gentle. You can feel him breathing on you when you walk Trunk-in-Hand. There was definitely a Magical connection. I highly recommend this experience,” wrote Diane on their TripAdvisor page.

It was a real interesting day, as the staff explained everything about the sanctuary and how they help the habitat etc. Kids loved it, and they got to interact with the elephants in a safe manner. Would return!”
