LOT 4: ELEPHANT INSIGHTS
A Guided Research Viewing
Bid on Lot 4
Minimum bid: £50
A one-of-a-kind, real-time behavioural commentary at the Elephant Viewing Hide for 2 guests, Lusaka National Park.
Step beyond the visitor experience and see elephants as researchers do. Join a GRI elephant researcher for an exclusive, guided hour at the Elephant Viewing Hide — transformed into a personalised, expert-led encounter. As the orphaned elephants approach the waterhole and interact with one another, your guide will interpret their behaviour in real time, offering insights rarely shared outside the research team.
Watch as bonds unfold between individuals, subtle signals reveal emotion, and the social structure of the herd comes to life.
Your researcher will identify individual elephants by name, point out unique personality traits, describe their histories, and explain the welfare and behavioural cues they use to monitor reintegration progress. This is not a standard talk - it is a quiet, intimate learning experience, tailored entirely to you. Whether you are fascinated by animal behaviour, passionate about conservation, or simply curious to understand the stories behind the elephants you see, this guided hour offers a rare window into the science that supports rescue, rehabilitation, and release.
This is conservation education at its most personal: one researcher and the extraordinary privilege of seeing elephants through a professionals eyes.
