TRIP INFORMATION

Clients are picked up from their respective hotel/lodge and transferred to the Safari Par Excellence office in town. Check in is done at the office before clients proceed to the Masuwe estate. Upon arrival, tea, coffee and cordials are served – after which the guide will give a short introductory talk including all safety aspects. Guests are then required to sign an indemnity. Guests are then introduced to our Elephants (Clem, Em, Penny & Miss Elly) and their Handlers.

On mounting the Elephants, the Safari begins. The trail leads through the pristine bush and valley of the Masuwe River , which is home to numerous species of wildlife, including, elephants, kudu, buffalo , impala, leopard and sometimes even lions. There is excellent birding with over 50 species to be sighted.

Each Elephant is under the charge of a Handler – the trips are lead by a professional Guide, who is armed and carries a first aid kit and handheld radio.

The AM Safari ends with a light breakfast consisting of muffins & pastries.

The PM safari ends with a good choice of snacks and drinks.

The guests are then transferred back to the office where they can view the video of their personal Elephant experience. Videos are available for purchase and will be delivered to guests' hotels that evening or the following morning (depending on which Safari is booked).
