Elephant Back Safaris
A lofty viewpoint
There is truly nothing like seeing the bush from the back of an elephant - feeling the lolling rhythm of the biggest creature in the bush as he eats his way through a mopani bush and stops for a drink in the river. Learn about the habits and character of elephants, whilst also viewing other game from your great vantage point.
Elephant safaris in Botswana
There are a few places that have made elephant back safari experiences available, but the most authentic and ecologically sensitive has to be Wilderness Safaris' Abu Camp in the Okovango Delta, Botswana.
Abu Camp $$$$$+
At Abu Camp, you are carried along in large, comfortable, custom-made saddles into the Delta, on the most effective of all 4x4's. An elephant not only is able to cope in water and sand easily, but can also get really close to other game, which is generally unaware of the elevated human presence. It is a completely different type of game drive!
An Indulgence?
Elephant back safaris are amongst the most expensive type of safari, not least because of the considerable expense of caring for the herd of elephants.
In addition, Abu Camp is one of Wilderness Safaris' premier camps, offering accommodation, service and cuisine of the very highest standard.
Taking in to account the requirement for a minimum three day stay at Abu Camp, the cost of an elephant back safari can be considerable. However, the experience Abu Camp offers really is like no other...
