5.00Absolutely fantastic experience and rare opportunity to get up close and personal with the most amazing elephants saved from sad circumstances now living the best life they can have being cared for within a beautiful sanctuary. We absolutely loved feeding them, making food for them and giving them a bath in the river. A completely ethical way to enjoy our beautiful animals without having them perform or be ridden. Thank you for a great experience x
Amazing.

5.00Very friendly experience, feeding elephants, washing them, taking pictures. Full information about their lifestyle in a good mood. Lunch very well and white water rafting at the end allows to cool off after half a day in the heat. We were a group of 6 people making the experience pleasant.
