History

A Journey That Began in 1988

The story of Adventures with Elephants began over three decades ago with a small group of orphaned elephants and a deep commitment to understanding them and sharing them with others.

Over the years, that commitment has grown into one of the most respected elephant interaction and research environments in Southern Africa.

Through changing landscapes, evolving conservation challenges and decades of learning, one thing has remained constant — a profound respect for elephants and the relationships built with them.

Today, Adventures with Elephants continues to evolve while remaining grounded in the values it was founded on: care, integrity, curiosity and connection.
