Welcome to The Elephant Sanctuary

Hazyview – an experience for life!

The Elephant Sanctuary Hazyview neighbours the Casa Do Sol Hotel on the Sabie Road (R536) just 5 km from Hazyview town and 16 km from Kruger National Park’s Phabeni Gate.

The Elephant Sanctuary is situated in the Lowveld on a 600 hectare reserve that is home to two African elephants: Kasper ‘the gentle giant” is a stunningly huge 3.3m tall male who was hand-reared on a farm in Namibia; Kitso is an adventurous and playful 10-year old elephant, just like his human counterparts!

The Elephant Sanctuary – Hazyview has elevated wooden walkways, beautifully constructed decks overlooking water, riverine and outdoor areas, a Curio Shop and Elephant Sanctuary Reception.

Our elephant experience and venue is suitable for:

• Family Outings
• Special Occasions
• Corporate Functions
• Tourism / Holiday Activity

The Elephant Sanctuary group has three operations – Hartbeespoort Dam near Pretoria and just outside Gauteng, Plettenberg Bay in the Garden Route and Hazyview in the Lowveld.

The Elephant Sanctuary provides a “halfway house” for young African elephants in need of a temporary home. It is the only operation in South Africa that provides for elephants in this way. It is our vision to release all the elephants into an environment where they can be more independent once they are older.
