Rasamee

Our guest David wrote this poem during his experience at Elephantstay. Thank you!

Silent giant,
What are you thinking as you look into my eyes?
You might wonder about me.
Perhaps in the quiet, you are my teacher,
And be questioning my strangeness.
I try to be attentive to you,
And I attempt to listen
By I confess my ignorance of your lesson.
There is a real need to seek further understanding of you,
My mentor and friend
You are truly, a ray of light, in my life
My dear Rasamee.

Cavalia Visit

On 12 October 2014 a group of performers / trainers from Cavalia visited Elephantstay
and the Elephant Kraal and Village. We witnessed training where elephants and mahouts showcased their power and skills. Some dreams came true.

Happy World Elephant Day!

Today is World Elephant Day!

Let's all help conserve and protect elephants from the numerous threats they face. Spread awareness and express your concern, share your knowledge and support solutions for the better care of domesticated, captive and wild elephants alike.

On 12 August 2012, the inaugural World Elephant Day was launched to bring attention to the urgent plight of Asian and African elephants. The elephant is loved, revered and respected by people and cultures around the world, yet we balance on the brink of seeing the last of this magnificent creature.

World Elephant Day asks you to experience elephants in non-exploitative and sustainable environments where elephants can thrive under care and protection.

Jumbo thanks to all who work everyday to help and protect these magnificent creatures!
