This was a wonderful and unforgettable experience. The staff at the sanctuary really cherished the rescued elephants in their care- providing a safe and nurturing environment. The whole morning was perfectly organised- from the preparation of the elephant’s food to the feeding and washing of the elephants. Towards the end of the experience we were able to practice our slingshot skills to help disperse pumpkin pellets through the forest to allow for the continued growth of the elephant’s food. We were provided with constant cold water and cooling towels, iced coffee and at the end of our session we were presented with a delicious vegetarian meal of fried rice, spring rolls and watermelon- such a lot of thought and care was put into the wellbeing of each guest. And at the end of the tour they produced a wonderful video, encompassing all that we had done, which was then available to download for free.

What a fab morning. The elephants are well looked after and it’s obvious that their welfare is paramount. You get to make the food and feed the elephants. You can wash them down and follow them into their own habitat. Staff at the rescue centre are knowledgeable and fun. The food served afterwards was delicious. I would definitely recommend this trip 😊

The excursion was very well planned from agenda to port pick up to drop off. Excellent communication with detailed directions to the meeting point. All staff at the sanctuary were extremely knowledgable, engaging and showed great passion. The activities planned were perfect for this visit giving us a thorough understanding of the work being done. We enjoyed our day very much.

Absolutely amazing to see these magnificent creatures up close. They were once held captive, abused, or used for entertainment. Now they are cared for like kings and queens.

We had a super short day at this port and wished it had been much longer because we loved this excursion! The elephants are so precious. The workers make sure you know as much as you want about each elephant and you can tell how much they truly care for the animals. What a wonder place this is for these animals to grow old in.
