Fantastic 1/2 day from start to finish, you won’t be disappointed.
Lots of information given about the elephants and interaction with them, whilst respectfully giving them their space. 10/10 ☺️

Beautiful grounds, the elephants look well taken care of & happy in their free environment! Staff was very informative, well-organized from beginning to end of experience. Lunch was very tasty & offered plenty of options for food, drinks & sweets. The only thing I would have preferred was a smaller group in general. The staff does break up the visitors into 2-3 groups per Volunteer. However, it just felt overcrowded. Khap Kun Ka🙏🏽 for a great experience & for caring so much for such an amazing species!
