Elephanting: This is an educational activity for guests to learn about and gain an understanding of the Pongola Game Reserve elephants which were translocated here in 1997 from the Kruger Park. It is about the challenges facing their future in our fenced and protected areas and although on most occasions you do get good sightings of the bulls and/or herd, this is not guaranteed. Join Brad, the guide, who is highly knowledgeable having studied these magnificent animals closely with the purpose of conducting the “Space for Elephants” Research program. You are assured of an excellent outing. This is a specially requested activity, which requires booking by prior arrangement Game drives are conducted in an open viewing vehicle on the Pongola Nature Reserve which covers 12000 hectares.
