Customer Reviews

Awsome experience. Already my 3rd time with u. Rikas 1st time. But she lived every moment. - Piet


A truly immersive experience. Our professional Veterinarian Guide was most informative and at all times solicitous of our well-being. As expected the Ellies were friendly and very well behaved despite the freezing weather. Well done to the Handlers. A memorable encounter. - Roy


The Elephant Sanctuary was a phenomenal experience! Our family loved interacting with the elephants, feeding them, and learning about them. There's no way to really appreciate just how massive these creatures are without standing next to them. The staff are knowledgeable and helpful, giving us plenty of time to interact with the elephants and take pictures. We all thoroughly enjoyed the experience! - Bryan


Humbling life changing experience with my family with there great gentle giant. Spiritual. - Dean


We came here (2 adults, 5 teenagers) and had the most amazing experience. Our guide, Connie, was brilliant and gave us a thorough and insightful education into everything about these wonderful animals. All of the staff working with the elephants were so friendly and reassuring - especially to the more nervous ones in the group. My daughter would not have stood with an elephant if they had not gently encouraged and supported her and now she is so grateful that she had the experience. Walking with the elephants was an incredible experience too - so big! - and we are in awe of that. We paid a small amount for a video to be shot of us interacting with the elephants (feeding, touching, walking) and it was well worth it. Overall, an incredible experience, the elephants are clearly loved and well looked after, and the staff are amazing conservationists. - Gemma
