The elephant sanctuary was wonderful. It was the ride there and back we had a van full of people and the air conditioning did not work. When the drive is 2 hrs you need to fix the air in the van.
What a magical experience, you feed, wash and swim with the elephants. Well worth a visit. Lunch is amazing massive buffet and fruit. 10/10 Recommend
It was great! We got picked up from the hotel. Everyone was so nice, funny and accommodating. It’s heartbreaking to read the background stories of some of the elephants but so heartwarming to see how close they are to their caretaker. I highly recommend it. Bring your swimwear or extra clothes. You’ll be in the pool with the elephants.
Drink lots of water and wear sunscreen Where clothes that can get dirty and wet Bring change of clothes
Very exciting! And a great experience. Includes feeding, washing and bathing the elephants! It is brilliant.
Such a beautiful experience, you must do it. And pack swimmers. You get to swim with the elephants. Loved it
From the pick up until drop off I was positively surprised by every detail. The place is wonderful clean and spacious. The elephants live there happily and freely in nature surrounded by people who care and love them. They are treated with kindness and respect. No cages, no chains. Great fun for solo travelers, families, bigger groups. Each activity was long enough to experience the elephants and the place at its best. Highly recommend!!! 🤩
An amazing experience to get up close and personal with 12+ elephants varying in age from babies to over 60 years old. The staff are very knowledgable about each elephant and their story of how they have been rescued and rehabilitated.
Great day spent with the Elephants, interactive . Great informative guides, basic lunch included . Only negative, was the drive to the Park. Driver did not speak English and the transportation Van used, needed shocks....very uncomfortable drive out to the Park.
