Elephant Gin

German-made gin which raises funds to support elephant conservation.

Elephant Gin helps protect the iconic African elephant through sales of its top quality, handcrafted gins. 

The social enterprise gives 15% of profits to the Big Life Foundation and the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust. These are two elephant conservation organisations that carry out important work such as caring for orphaned baby elephants, educating the public, research and anti-poaching activity. 

Why gin? Well, G&T is often the drink of choice at traditional South African sundowners after a day out in the bush. So it seemed the perfect choice for a tipple supporting wildlife conservation on the continent. 

Among the 14 botanicals in Elephant Gin there are some rare African ingredients. This combined with a slow, gentle distillation process in an Arnold Holstein still results in a rich, distinctive flavour that sets the spirit apart from traditional gins. 

Add a bottle of Elephant Gin to your own drinks cabinet or gift it to the wildlife lovers in your life. The custom-made bottles, complete with handwritten elephant names on the labels, make it extra special.

Meet The Founder

Elephant Gin was co-founded by Robin Gerlach, Tessa Gerlach and Henry Palmer in 2013.

They had seen elephant conservation projects firsthand during travels around Kenya and South Africa as well as enjoying a sundowner G&T or two. This is where the idea for the brand grew from.  

For them, Elephant Gin is all about making the world safer for elephants, more sustainable business practices and of course, better gin. 

As they say, “the first step to changing the world is having the right spirit!”
