Africa is a very popular choice for a safari holiday, not just because of the wildlife that is on offer but also the amazing and breathtaking views that can be seen.
When booking a safari holiday many people are not aware of the wide choice they have available to them when it comes to choosing your transport around the area. Most of the safari tour operators in Africa offer a choice of safari transport experiences such as Jeep, biking or even on foot and if looking for one-off land, then a boat. But did you know that you can actually do part of a safari on the back of one of Africa’s big five, the Elephant?
Why not take a three and a half hour ride on the back of one of the Shearwater’s herds of twelve elephants. You will get to explore the local area, allowing you to not only have first-hand experience with these magnificent animals but to also see the area from a totally new perspective. All of these elephants have a very close bond with their handler as they have been reared from birth, so you can rest assured you are in good hands.
