— What You Can Expect —
Discover an ethical, observation-only elephant experience in a serene natural setting. Visit our sanctuary to learn about elephant behavior and conservation efforts while observing these gentle giants roam freely—no touching, bathing, or riding. Feed them treats from a tray as you walk past a tranquil pond and under lush palm trees. Enjoy hands-on cultural activities, including a fun fabric bag painting session and making rice wrapped in banana leaves. This meaningful eco-tourism experience is perfect for animal lovers and responsible travelers.
