Addo Elephant Back Safaris is situated in the pristine valleys of the Zuurberg Mountains, bordering the recently proclaimed Greater Addo Elephant National Park. This area is regarded as Africa?s most biologically diverse, supporting 4 of the 7 biomes or eco-regions in Southern Africa. The area encompass habitats ranging from semi-arid Karoo areas, across fynbos covered slopes which merge with impenetrable thickets and montane forests and extending into rolling grasslands. During the walks informative guides will provide information on this unique area, allowing the client to be at one with nature. Appreciate nature from an elephant's perspective. Walking besides these gentle giants will allow you to observe the elephant's habits in their natural surroundings. This safari experience is about learning and becoming familiar with one of Africa's most stately, intelligent mammals - the African Elephant. It is an adventure of relaxed interaction with the elephants, enjoying the beauty of the area and of getting acquainted with these gentle giants in a meaningful way. Standing between them, surrounded by them, being touched by them, scented by them, being nudged and gently pushed at by them, feeling their curiosity and their trust, is to feel a oneness at an emotional and visceral level which is immensely elevating and yet, somehow, disquieting. There is a sense of reaching back, in some strange way to common origins and a shared heritage. You will take away memories that will stay with you forever.
