5.00We had a great experience at The Lake Elephant sanctuary . Pick up from hotel was smooth. Lunch was delicious and the place was a short ride from our hotel. Tod was our guide providing us with information about the facility and the elephants. I highly recommend this tour.

5.00SIX STARS! The Lake Elephant Sanctuary was awesome- Mr Dang and his staff care so much for their “best friends” ( the 6 elephants on site) Great trip to visit them To see the elephants in their natural environment, helping to feed and bathe them was a really great experience! We were able to tour on an overcast rainy day which kept the temps down for us, but the elephants were able to graze and spend more time in the fields & the river with us! The food and amenities were great and the staff was excellent with our 10 yr old daughter- who had a blast! We will be back next year again to see Mr. Dang and his elephants!
