Elephant Whispers is situated just outside Hazyview in the Mpumalanga Province, South Africa.

Under the management of André and Colleen Kotze, Elephant Whispers opened in December 2007. The African Elephant is the world’s largest land living animal and here you can meet six of them. The experience is for the young and old, all elephants are tamed and trained for these experiences. The elephants were all rescued for planned game reserve culling operations Elephants for Africa Forever (EFAF).

Visitors have various opportunities to interact and learn about these majestic creatures. The close encounters offer you a chance to experience trunk greetings, feel their rough skin, feed them tasty treats and feel their constantly curious trunks inspecting you. If you are still wanting more you can choose to take an elephant ride, a unique and memorable experience which was once only a privilege reserved for Kings.

Elephant Whispers offers an elephant experience of a lifetime which will leave its visitors with admiration and respect for these gentle African giants.
