Sip, Paint & Stay with Elephants

A creative afternoon in the bushveld—and a reason to make a weekend of it.

Join Adventures With Elephants and Karen Ransome Artist Studio on Saturday, 17 October 2026, for an afternoon of painting, elephant encounters and bespoke G&Ts in the beautiful Bela-Bela bushveld.

Slow down, settle in at your easel and let your surroundings inspire you. With a fully guided painting experience, you can enjoy the creative process while making something personal to take home. Come with a friend, share the afternoon with someone special, or treat yourself to a different kind of Saturday.

Meet the elephants. Find your inspiration.

Your experience includes an elephant interaction, adding a memorable personal connection to the animals that inspire the afternoon. Then enjoy your guided painting session with Karen Ransome Artist Studio, with your painting kit included.

Sip on three bespoke G&Ts as you paint, with water or cooldrink also available. At the end of the experience, take home your own painting and a certificate of completion—a reminder of an afternoon spent creating in the bushveld.
