Thanks to its location just to the south of Kruger National Park, Hazyview makes a great base for safari expeditions and adventure tours. It’s an animal lover’s paradise, with opportunities to engage with elephants, ride rescue horses through the hills, spot one or more species on “The Big 5” list, and much more. You can also tour coffee farms, splash in waterfalls or sink into relaxation at an area spa.

Elephant Whispers is an absolute must to visit. You will never forget it. It is next door to Hippo Hollow Hotel which is superb to stay at.. Transfers can be arranged to go there..An encounter with the elephants is an amazing experience, such a profound effect.. You learn about the elephants body, and much more, hands on experience with them, and walk or ride even lunch if you wish. The handlers are amazing and they clearly love their handlers and visa versa. Very well looked after.. I highly recommend to visit this Sanctuary..Make sure you see Peaches the little dog there and Lucky as well, they smile.

Elephant Sanctuary close to the Kruger National Park. Home to two orphaned African elephant bulls, Kasper and Kitso. Host four fully guided elephant interaction programs per day and some programs that can be added to them. Focus on a more personal and private elephant experience with smaller groups of guests.

What an experience to touch, feed and take a full grown African elephant for a walk is an amazing experience and then for it to give me a kiss on my head. I would not have missed this for the world. If you love elephants this is not to be missed.

Horse Whispers

We are located on a 2000 hectare Bushveld property, owned by the Sandford community trust. Horse Whispers is a company that offers a wide variety of horse trails. The well-being and future of these horses is dependent on the income from horse trails and donations. Most of these horses came from foster homes and were field horses fairly familiar to human interaction, some did not trust humans at all and others had no understanding of personal space.The training of these horses consisted of halter work, trusting and respecting humans, desensitization exercises, groundwork, preparing for a rider, backing and riding away with a safe, confident horse! Today, these horses able to play a significant role in brighting the lives of underprivileged children. The program teach more than just riding; children develop life skills such as self-confidence, responsibility and discipline – and can have a positive impact on academic performance too. Join us for an unforgettable horse riding experience through the Hazyview bushveld with an en-route stop to meet 6 majestic African Elephants.Or go on a breathtaking ride alongside the river and through the hills leads to an idyllic picnic site in a secluded valley. Enjoy your lunch in the shaded canopy provided by the indigenous Matumi trees. Participate in a cattle drive which is a cattle round up on the Sandford Reserve, where a small number of cattle are located and gathered and moved to the nearest water source. The cattle are moved at a walk, any faster than a walk and you run the fat off them, most unwelcomed by any farmer. There is some faster work occasionally to retrieve runaways. We also offer 30 min, one hour and two hour bush outrides.

Horse Whispers made horse riding fun and enjoyable. Booking was easy and communication was proper. The staff was amazing and humble. Received brief training on horse riding and the coach was very patient. Maneuvered for a whole hour through the bush trail and the experience was ecstatic. Went through a valley, water puddle, thick bush, a slope - it was just so beautiful. Cherry on top - had great conversations with the guide all way! Loved it
