Customer Reviews

The experience was exhilarating, my guests were so happy and we can rate this as top service 10/10 - James


We really had an awesome time interacting with the elephants. We paid for the video, which was received the same day. It is really beautiful however they did not capture the kisses from the elephants, which i think was one of the highlights during the whole tour. Regards - Cusdin


The Elephant Sanctuary was incredible--one of the best experiences of our lives. The caretakers were knowledgeable, professional, and generous; the facilities were first class. The elephants were beyond anything we could have imagined. They're huge yet so patient, warm, and intelligent. I'm so thankful we had the chance to do this and would absolutely recommend the experience to anyone. - Erik


I had an unforgettable experience!as a solo traveler I was warmly welcomed and received exceptional customer service from the tour guide,not only did the provide insightful information about the elephants,but they also went above and beyond to make sure I got to capture special moments.they even offered to take photos of me with the elephants. The opportunity to feed and walk with these gentle giants was truly breathtaking. The sanctuary dedication to elephant conservation and welfare is evident in the way the animals are treated with love and respect. If you are looking for unique and heartwarming experiences, I highly recommend visiting the Elephants Sanctuary,5?[?] for me. Definitely coming back with my kids . - Nosipho


What an experience! To be able to get up close and personal with these incredible creatures is breathtaking, but knowing that this is an ethical sanctuary dedicated to elephant wellbeing and protection is top priority when booking encounters such as these. Our elephant handler was just the best, he had us laughing and even encouraged me to get a sloppy kiss from one of the elephants. He needs a huge shout out (selfie shot). Until next time... - Genevieve
