Amazing experience! Staff very knowledgeable, kind, friendly. Gide gave us a lot of information about elephants life and habits. Many thanks and appreciation.
transfer was quick and smooth, brand new van, excellent driver. elefant, experiences and the people there fantastic, I would rate it 7 stars out of 5, for everything. Also they did pictures of everyone, for free, uploaded on Facebook! that's amazing!
The elephant sanctuary feeding tour is great! It's long enough for you to enjoy but not get bored. You will learn a few things and experience a bit of craft time. Let's not forget the tour guides at the park, which were all great!
Wonderful experience! Dispatch notified us when driver was on his way, driver arrived exactly at 12:30, staff at sancturary were incredible, lunch was delicious, and the Elephants were amazing! I’ll never forget this experience!
We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to the Elephant Jungle Sanctuary even though we weren't quite sure what to expect at the start. It was so amazing to interact with the elephants, feed them, prepare their daily vitamins, give them mud baths and then a final rinse and scrub in their pool. All the while, learning about their nature, quirkiness and individual stories from their handlers. The morning finished up with a delicious lunch and then a lesson in how to make paper from elephant droppings. It was a really special experience.
I will never forget this day I am going to help this sanctuary in the future the people are real the animals (dogs included)are relaxed and happy not pacing back and forth ike a zoo animal SPECIAL PLACE
