Knysna Elephant Park

Knysna Elephant Park – home of the gentle giant! This was the perfect place to celebrate my son’s first birthday (he is a major Dumbo fan!)

Located halfway between Knysna & Plett, they offer you the opportunity to get up close and personal with their herd of 5 elephants – what an amazing experience & privilege to interact with these majestic animals.

As you wait for your tour to start, you immerse yourself in a big room full of beautiful pictures of the herd, displays and information about the elephants. Once your tour guide arrives, you watch a short informative video, then are transported to the field where you get to feed & walk amongst the elephants in their environment.

Our guide was fantastic! Offered tons of information, fun facts and took photos of us with the herd. Feeding them was fantastic & it was great to watch my kiddos enjoy the special experience.

Afterwards, we enjoyed a bite to eat at the onsite restaurant, while the kids made some new friends on the playground – good times! ??
