Abu Camp

Safari Holidays

Getting to know the elephants at Abu Camp, on a personal level, is a rare and humbling experience. Meet each member of the herd, learn their history and begin to understand a little of what makes these grand, wise creatures what they are. Watch the interactions of the herd, how they walk silently and majestically along through the bush, trunks swinging, ears flapping - and then join them.

Whether walking alongside them or seated in large padded saddles mounted behind experienced elephant-handlers, to join a herd of the largest land mammals on a walk through the bush is to see Africa from a completely different perspective. Surrounded, as you are, by the herd, many other animals allow you to approach closer than ever. Herds of giraffe, zebra and antelope continue to graze, unconcerned by the approach of the elephant herd of which you are now an honoured part.

Also available are game-drives in open 4x4 vehicles, night-drives, guided nature walks, bird-watching (Abu boasts a list of nearly five-hundred species) or time spent drifting on the tranquil waters of the Okavango Delta in a mokoro. In the evenings, formal and informal talks will be given to enhance the elephant learning experience.
