South Africa · ELEPHANT TOURS IN JOHANNESBURG
Distances here are long and a wasted day is expensive. These 4 elephant tours in Johannesburg are priced and timed so the choice takes a few minutes rather than an evening.
Travel from Johannesburg, Sandton, Rosebank, or Pretoria to the Elephant Sanctuary near Hartbeespoortdam. In a small group of up to 13, you’ll feed and walk beside elephants, hear about their behavior and conservation, and return to your hotel with an English-speaking guide.
This 10-hour small-group tour takes you from Johannesburg to Lion and Safari Park for a two-hour game drive, then to the Elephant Sanctuary in Hartbeespoort for a guided elephant visit and a one-hour monkey tour. Hotel pickup, drop-off, and an English-speaking guide are included. Lunch needs confirming before you book.
“The elephant and monkey sanctuary were incredible. The monkeys were pets that people had abandoned and the sanctuary takes care of them in large treed area. The elephants are also rescues. You get to feed, walk, and touch the elephants. We really enjoyed this part of the tour. Why I didn’t give this tour 5 stars is because it includes lunch, but we never received a lunch. I am hoping the company will contact me to refund me the lunch portion of the tour price that we did not receive. The lion park was also sad and the ethics were questionable. Please do your research before going to the Lion…”
Travel from Johannesburg to Hartbeespoort in an air-conditioned Toyota Fortuner for a two-hour elephant education and feeding session, followed by an hour with monkeys in a forest canopy sanctuary. Transfers, entry fees, and bottled water are included. The 08:30 pickup is strict.
Spend five hours traveling from your hotel to Hartbeespoort’s Elephant Sanctuary, where professional handlers introduce you to the elephants through feeding, close contact, guided walks, and anatomy lessons.

“The Ultimate Elephants Experience. It was a one on one experience with feeding the Elephants and touching ears, stomach and even feet of the elephant!" I thought I was a doctor! The elephants even give you a kiss. It is an enjoyable lifetime experience shared with all ages. It''s a guarantee Elephant enjoyment. I will definitely take any opportunity to experience it again!!”
