Elephant Havens Orphanage Visit

Elephant Havens Orphanage is a non-profit organisation with a vision is to protect and preserve the African elephant. This is through habitat protection, community outreach, rescuing and hand-rearing of orphaned elephants. Elephant Havens not only provides a sanctuary but works closely with communities to reduce conflict between villagers and elephants. Through education, the organisation hopes to instil an understanding of the importance of conservation and habitat protection in future generations.

This outing is a wonderful way to support an organisation that is so vital to the long-term existence of the African elephant. It offers a rare opportunity to interact and spend time with these gentle giants.

Departing from Maun at either 8h00 or 15h00, you will be transferred to Elephant Havens which is situated approximately one hour’s drive from Maun. You will be able to meet the orphaned elephants, as well as the team of experienced elephant handlers. The handlers will give you an introduction to each orphaned elephant and its background story. You will also learn about the anatomy, intelligence and emotional makeup of elephants, and the needs of the orphaned babies. After the sanctuary tour, your transfer will bring you back to Maun.
