Fantastic elephant and monkey feeding experience - The entire experience from start to finish (pickup to dropoff) was arranged beautifully and went on time. At the sanctuary we were very well taken care off by the guides and had a very immersive experience with the elephants and the monkeys. We got to feed them both and the monkeys very super playful with a couple of them jumping onto us and exploring us.
The walk with elephants and the touching of elephants trunk, tusks and feet were fantastic. I would definitely recommend this experience.

Epic Day Out! Excellent Tour Guide - What an absolutely amazing time my sister and I had on this tour. We were picked up by Brian who took us safely to the elephant and monkey sanctuary. Once there we were met by James who guided us around. He was funny and very knowledgeable about the elephants. We had the opportunity to feed and walk with the elephants as well as touch them.
The elephants looked to be in excellent condition and were very relaxed around us. However these are wild animals but we never felt unsafe as the keepers clearly knew what they were doing and had an excellent rapport with the elephants.
Then we moved on to the monkey sanctuary! What can I say 🤣 greedy, noisy, naughty and very cute. The walk through the sanctuary can be a bit challenging if you have mobility issues as I do, but it’s was so worth it. I didn’t do the rope bridges but my sister did and I can still hear the screams 🤣🤣
There is a lovely gift shop, coffee shop and picnic areas.
What a great day and I’m surprised there were not more people there. 100% recommend this trip and highly recommend Phillipians 4 Four, Brian was a brilliant tour guide and looked after us both very well indeed.

I loved it - Being able to be in an environment where these animals are treated with so compassion it's out of this world. It's educational and you can see the animals are well treated.

Wonderful Day Tour - Today was a fantastic day trip out to an elephant and monkey sanctuary. This was a highly educational day where the guides went over facts about elephant life and anatomy. It was nice to see them as well. Same with the monkeys where I got to learn more things that I did not previously know about them. My guide is Bobo. This now represents my third day with him. To say he was great is an understatement. He is professional, engaged and will make you feel like you are travelling with a close friend or family rather than a guide. He is knowledgeable and we had much discussions about life in south africa which is an added bonus. I have been highly impressed with this company for many reasons. The process with Solly was seamless and as a whole This is a very professionally run company. It is my hope to use them again should I come by this way again. I would highly recommend using them to any who is in the area. Much thanks again Solly and especially Bobo who has made my stay on Joberg the best it can be. 10 stars out of 5. Easily.

A very good addition to my usual safari tours - Both the Elephant and Monkey sanctuaries are well worth visiting, you will see the animals in their (nearly) natural habitat but also close up during the feeding. Small groups of visitors and some good photo opportunities too! I went there with Solly who is an excellent guide, would certainly recommend him and will book with him in future.

The opportunity with the elephants and monkeys surpasses the imagination. The team of workers articulate their beauty i - Enlightening Elephants is quite an amazing educational experience. If you have never been close up among these animals, this is the opportunity to do so. I favored most the time I had to touch the elephants: the tusks, trunk, their amazing skin.

A fantastic day - Solly picked me up at my accommodation and drove me safely to the Elephant and Monkey Sanctuary. He managed everything concerning tickets and tours. It was a breathtaking experience which I can highly recommend to everyone!
The monkeys and elephants were very close to you.Both tours were together 3 hours long.
This tour with phillipians4four and Solly is definitely worthwhile to do!!!
