Arrival, Transfers & Elephant Interaction Program
Day 1Arrival, Transfers & Elephant Interaction Program Arrival, Transfers & Elephant Interaction Program A shuttle service mini bus road transfer will be arranged at a time to accommodate your flight arrival in Johannesburg or Nelspruit. Upon arrival in Hazyview, you will have time to settle in to your accommodation and acclimatize to the sub-tropical feel of Hazyview. You'll then be picked from your guesthouse for an introduction and to join us for an enlightening interactive elephant experience. Here you'll meet five magnificent African elephants and learn about their extraordinary behaviour and physiology, observing first-hand how the elephants have developed trust in the kindness and care they receive from the team. Visitors to the centre experience life-changing moments when they encounter the elephants. The Elephant Whispers Team work hard to translate this into an understanding of the need for long-term, sustainable wildlife conservation, and elephant conservation in particular. An elephant interaction at Elephant Whispers is a memorable and touching activity not to be missed.
