Venture into the beautiful wilds of South Africa’s Magaliesberg Mountains for a guided tour of an elephant and monkey sanctuary, departing from Johannesburg!
Johannesburg, affectionately known as Jo’burg by locals, is South Africa’s largest city and is rich in history and culture. If you are staying in or near Johannesburg and want a break from the city to immerse yourself in nature, check out this guided tour of a peaceful elephant and monkey sanctuary!
Your tour begins directly from your accommodation where you will be picked up and whisked away through the scenic Magaliesburg, past the Hartebeestpoort dam. Once you arrive at the sanctuary and are welcomed by the guides there, it will be time to begin the elephant tour! You will be able to get up close and personal with the majestic elephants as your guide shares valuable information about them. Elephants, with their formidable intellect and empathetic ways , are incredible to interact with – if you love animals, or even just elephants specifically, this is an experience you will never forget!
Right after the elephant tour, the fun doesn’t stop as you will begin the tour of the monkey sanctuary right away! Once again, your guide will share lots of information about the various types of monkeys you will encounter, and even the small antelope that are on site, all while leading you through the scenic landscape and across raised bridges. The tour can be as interactive as you make it, as the curious monkeys may even hop onto your shoulders so you can feed them if you are comfortable doing so! After the monkey tour you will be given the chance to enjoy lunch at a nearby venue before being taken back to Johannesburg after your adventurous morning with both elephants and monkeys!
