I had a solo tour with MK and it was wonderful. The actual "tour" is really just private transport to the Sanctuary, but MK added so much more so it would be a real tour.
He told me about each area we drove though, and drove over the dam so I could see the beautiful view with a large waterfall. We stopped at a craft market for some shopping on the way to the Sanctuary, and he planned a lunch at the Lion Park after the Sanctuary visit.
The Sanctuary exceeded my expectations, and I got to directly interact with the elephants, monkeys, and lemurs. The whole staff ther made sure I enjoyed my visit, and took many pictures of me with the animals using my camera.
Be prepared with cash in Rands to give as tips to all the staff (tour guides and a group of animal handlers).
Also be aware that at the craft market they are extremely pushy and insist that you purchase things. They keep placing items into your hands trying to get you to buy them without even looking around. It was nice of MK to include the additional stop, but if I went again I would stay in the car.

I loved the Elephant Sanctuary. We Fed the Elephants, brushed them walked with them, and learned a lot about them. They are unique & beautiful animals. After we went to Bush Babies & Monkey Sanctuary. We feed the monkeys, they were super duper cute. There were babies as well. Was in love with the Elephants and Monkeys.

Great half day tour tonged close (really close) to the monkeys and elephants a we went to safaris earlier in our trip but never had an experience like this with such close interactions with the animals. Highly recommended to go after your safaris!
