Elephant asides
Letaba Elephant Hall - Home of the Magnificent Seven
Welcome...
Launched in March 2006, the KNP Emerging Tuskers Competition is part of a research project to identify the new crop of elephants with large tusks and encourages visitors to the KNP to take photographs or video footage of any elephant with large tusks so that this record can be used for research purposes. You have until the 31 December 2007 to send in your entries for this year's competition.
The museum covers elephant evolution, biology, behaviour, ecology and research. It also showcases the ivory of eight of Kruger's greatest tuskers (including six of the Magnificent Seven). This site introduces you to these, and some of Kruger's other big tuskers. It also has fun and games for kids and information for schools and educators. Check out our recommended reading for some excellent elephant publications, or our links page to access other useful sources of information on elephants.
This website is still in development and more content will be added over the coming months. We hope you find this site informative and accessible. Maybe we will see you in person at Letaba's elephant hall soon?
