Mr banana was so informative and helpful when we arrived at feeding time. They run purely on private bookings (only 2 per day to avoid stress for the elephants) and donations upon entry for watching or participating in the feeding (bananas and sugar canes).This is one of the most ethical sanctuaries I have seen so far, with the staff allowing the elephants to roam freely in the nearby jungle when the sanctuary is closed, with them always coming back ready for morning feed.The staff are so caring towards these elephants and you can tell they see them as family, highly recommend going and donating on arrival! We arrived at 16:15 for the feed, before that it is private bookings only.
Absolutely amazing experience. So educational, was great to hear all the details from Bang who so clearly loves these elephants.We learnt so much about them and it was great to see how well they are treated and how they have free roam of the village.Dont go anywhere else!! This place is truly ethical and special
A wonderful experience at this sanctuary that truly respects elephants. Bang and his family love elephants more than anything. Thank you for this emotionally rich morning and for this sanctuary, which deserves to be known and recognized.
A wonderful and very friendly place! We felt very well cared for. We were able to spend the morning with the elephants and bathe them. Refreshments were provided on site. We highly recommend it!
So grateful for our experience!! Bang and his team are such amazing people taking great care of the rescued elephants. Don’t bother going anywhere else because here’s where it’s at!!!Had a very memorable time with everyone. Best wishes for the team. ❤️❤️
I highly recommend visiting this sanctuary where the elephants are lovingly cared for and the visit revolves around their routine. The team were very attentive, provided so much information and took excellent quality photos of some of the beautiful moments.Please donate what you can to help them continue to care for these rescued elephants and maybe rescue more in future. This is a no riding experience with a great education on how we can be better tourists around these incredible animals. We got to walk with the elephants, hand feed them, watch and interact with them in their mud bath and then swim with them. This is all with a small group which is a huge benefit to the animals and us. Our children were enchanted by their time with these elephants!
The elephant interactions are a positive experience. You can come and feed the elephants twice a day. Food is provided on site and is free! There's a donation box at the entrance; donate generously; the elephants and the friendly staff will be grateful. You can swim with the elephants, but it requires a fee and prior reservation. The grounds are clean, with showers, restrooms, and washbasins.
