In search of Africa’s big tuskers

Africa’s Big Tuskers are the last living relics of a bygone era. 

With tusks weighing in over 50 kilograms (per tusk), it’s little wonder ivory poaching has devastated Africa’s big tuskers population. The tusks are due to a rare genetic variation that sees exceptional tusk growth.

Sadly, there are very few left today and just a handful of places where you can see these majestic creatures in the wild.

Fortunately, there are foundations and charities working around the clock to protect the last of Africa’s Big Tuskers.

So when Tony, one of our regular clients reached out a few months ago wanting to go on a private safari to get close to the big tuskers, we were thrilled and jumped at the opportunity!

(Tony thanks for trusting us to design the safari in search of Africa’s Big Tuskers).

Undoubtedly one of the most fascinating species in Africa, elephants are enormous, incredibly intelligent and emotional creatures that can live to 60 even 70. So spending time with elephants in Africa whether they are Big Tuskers or not is hugely rewarding as Tony can attest!
