The Elephant Café experience is a three-tiered offering including a jetboat, elephant interaction and an all-inclusive dining experience that has quickly become one of Victoria Falls’ signature experiences. The full experience has a fixed price, so guests can sit back and relax over the delicious bush gourmet cuisine unique to this restaurant, including wild edibles and locally sourced fresh and organic ingredients. The Elephant Café is proudly rated the #1 Restaurant in the country and has won many awards since its inception in 2016.
The Elephant Café concept was a unique solution in order to eliminate the era of elephant-back tourism in favour of ethical hand-reared elephant management. Clients are invited to interact with members of the herd in a positive and secure environment, with the onus of the experience to Observe, Experience, Conserve. This is a wildlife encounter like no other, offering a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for observation and a personal meeting with these gentle giants. Discover a newfound respect for elephants and receive a deeper understanding of their plight.
The origins of the Zambezi Elephant Herd are six elephants that were left orphaned after extreme drought led to culling operations in Zimbabwe in the 1960’s and 70’s. Raised with pioneering positive reinforcement techniques, these are elephants that have grown up with safe human support.
