TOUR DESCRIPTION

The tour departs from Durban heading northward along the coast to northern KwaZulu-Natal. The first stop is Bayete Zulu in the Zululand Rhino Reserve. They host an educational, touch and feed elephant experience every morning. You will arrive before 11 and wait in anticipation for the elephants to make their entrance for the interaction. The surrounding Zululand bush is quiet and the game rangers talk softly, preparing visitors for the arrival of the biggest mammal on earth.

One may wonder why the elephants are part of the reserve in Zululand and not roaming their natural land.  Rambo and Rachel belonged to a breeding herd in Zimbabwe that required culling.  Fortunately, both elephants succeeded in escaping and were successfully moved to this safe-haven. One of the local knowledgeable rangers will talk you through Rambo and Rachel’s history and provide you with interesting facts about elephants. Tourists are given the rare chance to touch Rambo’s and Rachel's tusks, ears, legs and tongue whilst feeding them. The Elephants enjoy human interaction due to their unfortunate history. The Elephants are there by their own will which is amazing and surprising. Tourists absolutely love the unique experience.

After the Bayete Elephant interaction, the tour moves south to the town of St Lucia inside the iSimangaliso Wetlands Park. There you will board a river boat for a 2 hours guided tour of the estuary. The local guide will inform you of the reserves history and educate you on the park’s incredible wildlife whilst cruising along the estuary on a Boat Safari.
