Elephant Safaris In Zimbabwe

Memorable And Ethical Elephant Encounter

Enjoy unforgettable elephant safaris in Zimbabwe with our remarkable elephants after their day out in the African landscape. Get up close to Africa’s giants.

Our Elephants

In September 2021, we welcomed three remarkable female elephants — Chitora, Mungwezi, and Chinja — into our care. Orphaned as calves and domesticated early in life, they needed a safe new sanctuary when their previous home became unviable.

Today, they roam freely across our vast estate under the watchful care of experienced handlers, returning each evening to their elephant boma, where guests can meet them in a natural and respectful way.

Spending time with these gentle giants is awe-inspiring. Guests may feed the elephants, stand beside them, and connect with their individual stories and personalities. Our guides share the challenges they’ve overcome and explain the vital role elephants play in African ecosystems.

Every interaction is ethical and prioritizes their well-being, ensuring they continue to thrive.

Overnight Camping

For small groups seeking something truly unique, we also offer overnight camping beside the elephant boma.

Enjoy sundowners and a simple bush dinner around the campfire before retiring to your tent or sleeping bag. Drift off beneath the stars while listening to the elephants’ nocturnal sounds — a magical experience you will never forget.

Meeting Chitora, Mungwezi, and Chinja is not only unforgettable, but it also directly supports their care and contributes to broader elephant conservation in Zimbabwe.

Leave inspired by their resilience and the importance of protecting these incredible animals for future generations.
