The Elephant Art Safari

Experience an eco-conscious and unique elephant encounter, surrounded by the African bush. Engage with guides who have journeyed incredible distances with these elephants, learning about their complexities and herd structures, their history, and the threats they face today. Afterward, venture to a waterhole and mud wallow under a Mopane tree’s shade, where guests find an easel and paint, guided by a tutor to capture the moment on canvas. Soon, guests’ white sheets of paper will be transformed into a canvas with a glorious blue sky, sunshine, yellow, brown, or green grass, and elephants. Round off the morning with a two-course buffet lunch accompanied by a cold beverage before being transferred back to Victoria Falls Town.
