Elephant Safaris

The does and donts of Elephant safaris :
Do choose your partner carefully. An imbalance in body weight may cause severe listing.
Do practice elegant landing onto elephant if from a platform or ladder.
Do wear trousers. Skirts flap and can reveal all colours of underwear and cellulite as you lower yourself onto elephant.
Do find a comfy position.It may be long.
Do look out for low lying branches and while you are busy doing that watch your legs dont get scratched by tall growing nettles.
Do learn your elephant's name and age and wish you will live that long.


Don't fidget.Go with the flow.
Don't stand up unexpectedly.
Don't go to sleep, even if you could, as swaying movement while sleep- inducing causes unexpected accidents.
Don't expect to see the Big Five.
Don't be impatient if your elephant stops for frequent snacks. I would too with such a load.
Don't be surprised when you stop for a G and T - just part of the elephant service.
Don't spill it ! I dare you to sip and ride.
