点评:We went to the elephant sanctuary as a couples experience. We have been talking about doing this for many years, and we were not disappointed
The Ranger James was exceptionally knowledgeable and was extremely enthusiastic about the animals.
The animals were rescued from a culling at Kruger national park. As the sanctuary is only small they were only able to take 12 animals. The elephants are wild but trained to expect certain interactions at various parts of the tour. The elephants are only brought into the pens when visitors arrive, otherwise they roam free
The first part of the tour is feeding the elephants but no touching.
The second part of the tour is a walk with the elephants. The keepers walk between you and the elephants, but the elephants are free
The thirds part of the tour is touching and interaction. The elephants are used to being touched on certain parts of their body such as feet, trunks, belly and bottom. The female we were with very gently pushed me into the correct position for the interaction, which made me feel as though she was comfortable with us being there.
The elephants then accompanied us back to the starting point where there is a small shop selling T shirts, mugs, soft toys and drinks.
I can honestly say that this was one of the most remarkable experiences of my life and I would recommend it to anyone
翻译:我们作为情侣去了大象保护区。我们谈论这个已经很多年了,我们并没有失望
护林员詹姆斯非常博学,对动物非常热情。
这些动物是从克鲁格国家公园的一次扑杀中救出来的。由于保护区很小,他们只能带走 12 只动物。大象是野生的,但经过训练,可以在游览的各个部分进行一定的互动。大象只有在游客到达时才会被带入围栏,否则它们会自由漫步
游览的第一部分是喂食大象,但不能触摸。
游览的第二部分是与大象一起散步。饲养员走在你和大象之间,但大象是自由的
游览的第三部分是触摸和互动。大象习惯于被触摸身体的某些部位,例如脚、鼻子、腹部和臀部。和我们一起的那头雌象非常温柔地把我推到正确的互动位置,这让我感觉它对我们的存在感到很舒服。
然后大象陪我们回到起点,那里有一家小商店,卖 T 恤、马克杯、毛绒玩具和饮料。
我可以诚实地说,这是我一生中最难忘的经历之一,我会向任何人推荐它
