Here is some wonderful photos of accessible elephant interaction in South Africa where guests interact with two wild elephants and baby that come in every morning from the bush to meet guests. This lodge is very close to Hluhluwe Game Reserve which is South Africa`s second largest Big Five Game Reserve.

That's really COOL! :clap: Glad you got to go on such an adventurous outing....not something we always get to do very often is it? :cheers:

Hi! The safaris include visits to World Heritage Site in South Africa- the Greater St Lucia Wetland Park which includes St Lucia (think hippos and birdlife),Hluhluwe Game Reserve- South Africa`s second largest big five game reserve, visits to Cheetah Rehabilitation Centre, elephant interaction, visits to Zulu Culture Village and lots more. An bonus is that there it lots of time is spent outdoors enjoying the sights and all accommodations are specially selected for accessibility. i will post some more photos and of accommodation which has its own jacuzzi outside.
