Mike Hampton Posted on 9th Nov 2015 by mikehampton9th Nov 2015

As promised, here’s another batch of photos from Love Knysna Projects excursion to the Knysna Elephant Park (KEP). None of this would’ve been possible without our terrific volunteers on the day – Avril, Nathalie, Sage, Dee, Clint, Sista Kerri, Louise, Candice, Birgitt, Dee, Andrew and Mike. All KEP’s staff were friendly and helpful which made life much easier for us.

Knysna Elephant Park Trip – Photo Gallery #1

Mike Hampton Posted on 9th Nov 2015 by mikehampton9th Nov 2015

Love Knysna Projects held a sensational end-of-the-year party at the Knysna Elephant Park. It was part of the Experience Knysna! program. Kids and teens from Hornlee, Judah Square and Central Knysna smiled enough to light up our whole town. Thanks to park owners Ian & Lisette Withers – the sponsorship was worth R10 000! They never put a value to it but we added it up – so when we say thanks, we mean BIG THANKS. Geoffrey, head guide and the park’s longest running employee, is to be commended. He … Read the full article…

Knysna’s Kids Meet Knysna’s Elephants

Mike Hampton Posted on 9th Nov 2015 by mikehampton9th Nov 2015

53 children and Love Knysna Project’s volunteers enjoyed an animal encounter and breakfast at Knysna Elephant Park (KEP) this Sunday past. For the children, it was an experience to be remembered. After watching an educational video that included how to safely interact with these beautiful animals, they received complimentary buckets of fruit to feed to the elephants. Wonder and giggles overcame hesitancy as hairy trunks plucked the food from their open palms. Benjy, a 7-year old from Judah Square whose known for his shyness, lit up as he became the … Read the full article…
