Even though it rained the day I visited, the whole experience was still quite good. Here peaceful and natural, surrounded by green hills and forest. The sound of rain actually made it more magical. Watching the elephants play in the rain was unforgettable, and one even lay down happily while bathing! It was fairly priced for what you get. It includes feeding, bathing, and plenty of time to interact closely with the elephants. The visit didn’t feel rushed at all, and there was enough time to really enjoy every part of the program. The staff were incredibly warm and kind. They shared stories about each elephant and took great care to make sure everyone, including the elephants, was comfortable and happy.
