I highly recommend the experience with small kids. The staff was great and my kids loved feeding and petting the elephants. The entire facility seems to be very kind to the elephants and I appreciate this.
Very nice experience! Feeding program is enough time if you don’t really want to wash elephants and get wet. For us it worked the best! Recommend it!
We really enjoyed being around elephants at the Jungle Sanctuary, my 3 y.o. daughter was excited petting and feeding these giant animals in their natural habitat.
Awesome expérience ! Thanks to Tisha for the activity with elephant, they look safe and good
They truly care about the elephants. Worth every bat.
On a apprécié ce petit moment de complicité avec les éléphants pour leur donner des fruits pour eux comme friandises.
