Review for: Keeper-Led Elephant Care Experience

OMG!! This was the highlight of my trip! Walking up the hill and out of the jungle strolls an elephant. Utterly amazing, words just can't do it justice. What makes this place extra special is there is no bathing, no riding, no interaction with the elephant unless the elephant wants to interact with you, just how it should be. And interact they did! Not shy at all, very confident but also very gentle and tolerant of us. Our guide Bobo was also fantastic, she was a wealth of information and felt like I was just chatting to an old friend. If you visit you will not be disappointed

Review for: Guided Elephant Learning Experience

Fantastic elephant experience with 2 x kids (13/11). Shared pick up in VIP van, very short trip from Karon beach. On arrival, laid back and peaceful vibe. Specifically chose this sanctuary due to ethical reasons behind bathing the elephants. Despite the elephants here still being dependent on humans for their care, due to their past captivity, they are given wild freedom
