This tour was a nice introduction and very informative about elephants. Located outside of Pretoria, this sanctuary is in a nice quiet area to do this excursion. Before you interact with the elephants, you get brief information about anatomy, lifecycle, etc.
When you begin the actual tour, it is quite breathtaking. You get to do a short walk with them through the sanctuary. Then you get to interact, feed, and take photos with them. At first, it looks quite intimidating, but the guides will help you get very comfortable. Definitely, take a lot of photos with them; it definitely is a memory maker.
Thank you all, from Vergio tours for helping make everything memorable!

Great experience. Definitely worth it. It is a must if you visit Johannesburg.
The tour guy picked me up from the Hotel and left me there after the tour was completed.
