I can't explain in words the feeling to be so close and touch and interact with these majestic animals,Amazing , Awesome , Unreal does not even compare. The most important thing is that these are elephants that was rescued from certain death,They are not wild elephants tamed for monetary purposes.There is 7 elephants in total.They are so friendly and calm , you can see they have been treated well, when you hear each one's story ,it's heartbreaking.The guide was very informative.The staff was friendly and well organized.The elephant's memory is amazing,We got to hug them , play ball with them , play a memory game with them and had lots of photo opportunities.We took our own photos and also ended up buying the DVD (quality of photos was amazing) Off season is the best time to go , fewer people ,more time with the elephants. I got to place my hand inside the elephant's mouth and feel his tongue while feeding it.I also got kissed twice by the elephant :) This visit was to celebrate my 30th wedding anniversary.This is something I will remember for the rest of my life. I want to take my children there soon.

This should be a must-see on the way to Orpen and Phalaborwa Gates to KNP, particularly with children. Tours at 10h00 and 15h00 can leave Jo'burg at 09h00 and make it. Large range of rescued animals including eagles/ vultures and lion/ leopard/ cheetah/ wild dogs/ hyena/ cerval/ honey badger/ etc and some buck. Can see them up close as they are mainly human imprinted so cannot be returned to the wild and are not afraid of humans. Seeing the speed an agility of the leopard climbing a tree was spectacular. A highlight of our trip to the Park. Nice small coffee and snack shop/ good museum and curio shop. We stayed at near by Forest Camp which is part of same set up - very good.

Jessica is a must if you are in the area. Where in the world do you get the chance to feed and give a bottle of tea to a fully grown hippo, and for just R100. This is an amazing experience that you really need to visit. Jessica has every opportunity to go off to the wild hippos, it is her choice to stay around humans. She is a wild animal and safety precautions are followed. Still allowing you to get close enough to touch this lovely animal, feed her corn and give her a bottle of tea. She was easy to find when on the R527 towards Hoedspruit turn left towards Essex and you will see signs for Jessica, follow the road and you will find her on the right hand side.

Just watching the falls is beautiful. The sound of the water is refreshing to the souls. One can just sit and listen to the beautiful sound of the water and the birds. The place is clean, and there are various spots were people can have a picnic. The area is safe with visible guards who helps with parking etc. Nature at its best.

Learning how the Bapedi people defeated the Swazi. The most exciting thing to learn was how the people stayed in the caves though not literate but were able to take decisions that made their stay in the cave comfortable.
