Please bring your own camera (our team will happily assist with photos). Refreshments are available for purchase on site. If rain is expected, please bring suitable rainwear — our elephants aren’t fans of umbrellas, so we kindly ask that they stay tucked away. Children under 16 years must be accompanied by a parent or guardian aged 21 years or older. |

Don’t forget sunscreen, a hat, and sunglasses to keep you protected in the sun, and bring a light jacket or jersey during the cooler months — our elephants enjoy the outdoors in all seasons! |
| What to bring | A camera to capture special moments (a spare memory card and extra batteries are a great idea) — there will be plenty of memorable moments. Sunscreen to stay protected in the Lowveld sun. Mosquito repellent, especially for early mornings and late afternoons. |
