After working up an appetite, we will have lunch at Bramon Wine Estate. This lunch will consist of delicious your choice of mezze platters, cheeses, pâtés, tapas, fresh home-made bread, and a glass of wine.
You will then wander through the world’s largest free-flight aviary at Birds of Eden, which incorporates an indigenous forest with waterfalls and elevated walkways. Previously caged birds from every corner of the globe live here in free flight.
We end our glorious day by interacting, touching, feeding, and walking trunk-in-hand with the magnificent elephants at The Crags Elephant Sanctuary. You will even have a personal experience with the elephants, as you participate in their bedding down during the brush down programme.
