I went to the Elephant Sanctuary with my partner and it was truly amazing. I enjoyed interacting with the elephants at such close proximity. I also enjoyed learning about the elephants anatomy. It was a very unique and unforgettable experience. - Oarabile

We had a wonderful and unforgettable experience at the sanctuary. I couldn't recommend this experience enough. Our guide TK was full of happiness and laughter and led us in a way that we felt safe whilst we learned about these amazing animals. A must do if you are planning a holiday in the area and have the time! For sure there is no comparison to being face to face with these Gentle Giants. Well done to all of the team involved! - Andrew

This is a fantastic experience. I brought 2 people from England to your sanctuary. They cannot stop raving about the magical experience. - Diane
