The Elephant Art Safari

Experience an eco-conscious and unique elephant encounter, surrounded by the African bush — one of the most unforgettable things to do in Victoria Falls. 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 discover a hidden artistic side as a tutor guides them in capturing this extraordinary Victoria Falls activity on paper. Soon, blank pages are transformed into vivid scenes of glorious blue skies, African sunshine, golden and green grass, and magnificent elephants. Round off the morning with a two-course buffet lunch accompanied by a cold beverage before being transferred back to Victoria Falls Town.

Description: Where conservation meets creativity, the Elephant Art Safari is one of the most distinctive Victoria Falls activities available today. Brought to life through a partnership between Wild Horizons Elephant Sanctuary and Art of Africa, this experience offers guests a deeply meaningful way to connect with nature, wildlife and their own imagination.

The adventure begins with a fascinating introduction to the sanctuary’s story, its origins, its mission and its vital work caring for elephants that have been orphaned, abandoned or injured. From there, guests are guided to a tranquil waterhole, where painting materials await beneath the sweeping canopy of a Mopane tree. With a private art tutor on hand, even first-time artists find themselves absorbed in the moment, brushes moving as elephants roam freely nearby.

It’s the kind of immersive, hands-on encounter that sits at the heart of what makes things to do in Victoria Falls so extraordinary – where wildlife, wilderness, and wonder come together in a single afternoon. The experience rounds off beautifully with a delicious two-course buffet lunch at the conservation centre, perfectly positioned on the banks of the Masuwe River, followed by refreshments and a return transfer to Victoria Falls Town.
