LOCATION
: The Elephant
Camp, situated just 25km from the Victoria Falls, offers a totally
unique experience; the opportunity to interact closely with
the elephants within the comfort of of a small African lodge.
On 35,000 acres of privately owned wildlife estate the Elephant
Camp offers one of the most thrilling safari experiences not
only to view wildlife from the back of an elephant, but to share
a day in the life of an elephant at close quarters. |
THE
ELEPHANTS : are all orphans. Two animals (Miss
Ellie and Jumbo) come from the Zambezi Valley, while two (Jock
and Jack) come from Hwange National Park. They have since grown
up with humans and are well-accustomed to visitors
Miss Ellie is the leader of the herd. The only
female in the group, she is tuskless and smaller than the others
- but is definitely in charge.
Jumbo Jumbo is very intelligent and loves placing
himself at the centre of attention.
Jock is the oldest and largest of the group. He seems more mature
both in habit and in behaviour, but is very sensitive to harsh
words.
Know affectionately as "The Pig", Jack lives for food
and prefers the lazy life. Apart from this however, he is an
excellent elephant!
Guests are encouraged to spend as much time as possible during
their stay in getting to know these wonderful animals. This
could include picnics with the elephants, training sessions,
washing/grooming routines or just the enjoyment of observing
them, whether feeding naturally in the bush or swimming at one
of the waterholes. |
