On the edge of the Okavango Delta lies a place where orphaned elephants get a new beginning. At Elephant Havens, young elephants are taken in after losing their mother, often due to drought or conflict. In this magical place, they receive the peace, care, and safety to grow up at their own pace. As a visitor, you may help with feeding. This becomes a very special moment up close, but of course always on the terms of our trunked friends.
