Absolutely beautiful and memorable experience!! - YAADHNA


Dear Elephant Sanctuary Team, I am writing on behalf of the Butler family to express our deepest gratitude for the truly unforgettable experience we had at your sanctuary on April 30, 2025. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with warmth and kindness, making our visit even more special. The opportunity to feed, feel, and touch the elephants was absolutely magical. It is an experience that will remain etched in our hearts forever. The gentle nature of these majestic creatures and the way you care for them is both inspiring and humbling. We also want to extend a special thank you to your incredible staff, who went above and beyond to accommodate our family's needs. Their attentiveness and kindness in assisting my husband, who has difficulty walking, did not go unnoticed and was deeply appreciated. Likewise, our grandchildren were engaged and cared for throughout the experience, making it all the more enjoyable for everyone. As for myself, I am still on an absolute high from the visit! The love and dedication you all show toward the elephants and your guests is truly remarkable, and it made our time at the sanctuary one of the most memorable experiences of our lives. Thank you for creating such a wonderful space where people can connect with these magnificent animals in a meaningful way. We will treasure this experience always and hope to visit again in the future. With heartfelt appreciation, The Butler Family - Butler
