Elephant Sanctuary Plettenberg Bay is an interactive elephant encounter facility located at Animal Alley in The Crags, near Plettenberg Bay on South Africa's Garden Route. The sanctuary provides a safe and nurturing environment for African elephants and offers visitors a series of hands-on programmes designed to foster a genuine connection with these gentle giants. The signature Walk Trunk in Hand tour guides guests through the forested surrounds alongside the elephants, while additional experiences include feeding, brushing, and grooming the animals and visiting their night shelter. Knowledgeable guides share insights into elephant anatomy, behaviour, and their journey to the sanctuary throughout each programme. On-site guesthouse accommodation allows for overnight stays, and the sanctuary also hosts special events, making it a deeply personal and educational wildlife experience on the Garden Route.
