I had an amazing experience. I cried learning about the abuse these elephants have gone through. Then cried again when the elephants approached me in their own natural habitat! We were able to get close enough to enjoy them, but still not make the elephants uncomfortable. Only time I touched an elephant was when I was giving her treats, in which she actually touched me first because she likes her treats! They love and trust their mahouts and you can tell. They also have bobded with other elephants just like they would in the wild. There's a veterinarian on the property also because most elephants are old or disabled. Great experience, dream come true, highly recommend. Way better than riding g or bathing with them.

This was the best experience ever. Our guide was so knowledgeable and very passionate about the elephants. When you learn how elephants are trained to paint, ride on and entertain. You will never want to go to those attractions. Just beautiful to see these rescued elephants in peace living their best lives.
