As we celebrated World Elephant Day (12 August) this month, there's no better time to plan an unforgettable bush break to witness these majestic creatures in their natural habitats.
This month brings attention to the plight of both African and Asian elephants, making it the perfect occasion to explore the best places to see these gentle giants.
From the vast plains of Africa to the lush forests of Asia, Flight Centre South Africa shares their pick of top 10 national parks where you can get up close and personal with elephants.
For elephant enthusiasts, consider staying in one location for a longer period or volunteering or learning with local communities.
For families seeking an unforgettable safari during the June/July school holidays, Chobe offers a one-of-a-kind, big bush experience. The dry season, from May to October, is prime time for elephant sightings, with the most activity during morning and late afternoon hours. Book now for next year or consider travelling in the shoulder season, when spectacular elephant sightings are still possible just with less human crowds.
Consider visiting one of these incredible parks to witness nature's gentle giants in their natural habitat. Not only will you create lasting memories, but you'll also contribute to the conservation efforts that help protect these magnificent creatures for future generations.
