Wonderful day with the elephants and monkeys! - We had a great ride out and back with Jason. He was a wonderful tour guide that provided us with some history of South Africa and the provinces and a few funny jokes.

One of The Best Tour & Tour Guide in South Africa! - This was one of the most wonderful & memorable tours that I have ever taken with 50 yrs traveling experience! The monkeys were interesting to watch & interact with. But the elephants stole the show! Walking, feeding & touching them up close & personal was an absolute joy! My tour guide Thabelo Thathani was wonderful, knowledgeable, friendly & funny was an unexpected gift for the day! Take this tour & as Thabelo as yr guide, you'll give yrself a wonderful memory to cherish for a lifetime! One of the Best Tours Ever!

Fantastic experience with the elephants and monkeys - Fantastic experience where you can meet and have a very close contact with elephants and monkeys. Also, the way from Johannesburg to the Sanctuary is too beautiful and would be worth the walk. I recommend. The company that did the translation was also super punctual and professional.

Amazing day!! - We had a great time today on this tour. It was amazing to be up close and personal with both the elephants and monkeys. Jason was a very conscientious driver and explained a lot about the area during our drive. A once in a lifetime opportunity. Don’t miss this tour.

Best experience ever - This place is amazing. I booked through Viator and had a driver pick me up in Joburg and dine me 1 1/2 hours there. He waited for me and brought me back. Dint forget to tip them 10% That's a long drive. Go early enough su you can feed the monkeys. On a weekday start the elephants at 10 and you'll be able to feed the monkeys!!! They are trashed very well here. Loved every second and worth every penny!

Monkey business - Very fun. Worth it. With the full price one you get a whole day's worth of memories to the elephants, monkeys playing with you and then a 2 hour safari at lion safari park. Well worth it.

Nice to understand better... - Nice to understand better the elephants . We can touch them and it stays respectful of the animal. The monkeys are cute but I don’t know if the walk is necessary after seeing the monkeys , it could be optional. Our driver Jason that drive us to the sanctuary was VERY nice .
