    Absolutely amazing. It was beyond our expectations. The elephants are treated so well. We researched all of the sanctuaries because it was important to us. Although we were able to bathe with them, the elephants enjoyed time on their own and we just observed which was wonderful. The keeper obviously has a great relationship with them. These are rescued elephants that have been terribly mistreated in the past but have found a peaceful and loving environment to live and yes, tourists are welcomed but this is to raise money and it was very much about the elephants and not us, which is the way it should be.

    Amazing! Manny, Kim and Bell and Tuptim made great memories! Can’t wait to see how the baby elephant Jackie grows! Lana (elephant) was so friendly and let us play with her. They catered for my wife who’s vegetarian. We bathed the elephants, fed medicine balls and played with them. Absolutely amazing experience! Highly recommend!!! Great being 1 on 1 with these beautiful elephants!!
