Reteti Elephant Sanctuary
What was once a heavily poached area is now being defended and protected by the locals themselves. The self-governed community strives to create local jobs, while working endlessly to conserve wildlife. As the first ever community owned elephant orphanage in Africa, Reteti is truly unique in its mission of uplifting the community through conservation. During your visit, you will have a once in a lifetime opportunity to learn about elephant conservation first hand, alongside a knowledgeable local. The highlight of your visit will be when you watch as the elephants play in the mud after receiving their bottles. Unlike other venues, Reteti invites you to watch from a special viewing platform alongside your host who will ensure the experience is unlike any other. Your visit will be complete after you're given a behind the scenes tour of the sanctuary - a visit you'll be sure to remember for a lifetime.
