Really cool experience - It was a truly wonderful trip! We were picked up promptly from our accommodation and taken to the reserve. There, we received a detailed explanation of how the camp operates, and each elephant was introduced to us with its name, age, and history. We found this very impressive. After this introduction, we had the opportunity to prepare food for the elephants. Here, too, we were given a clear explanation of why we needed each ingredient. After a feeding session, during which we were allowed to get very close to the elephants, we had an encounter with these gentle giants in a free-range pasture and jungle, followed by a mud bath. This, too, was very impressive and informative. Back at the camp, we enjoyed a delicious lunch and then had the opportunity to watch an elephant bathing before being taken back. In conclusion: We had a truly wonderful time here and have the feeling that the staff here want to live in harmony with the elephants and not as people who are superior to them. All questions were answered openly and honestly.

Feeding the elephants - We had an amazing day from getting picked up with a lovely young lady to show us around and be with us all morning! From arriving and offering us a drink then to talk about the sanctuary! We then started to make the elephant food together and they took us over ready to meet the elephants, when they arrived they are so well looked after we all got in small groups and took it in turn to feed them starting with the food we made in balls then the branches. We then walked over to the forest to watch them all wander the fields then we walked back and we washed our hands and we sat and were given a lovely lunch and drink and then we watched the elephants have a bath which was funny as they sprayed us with there trunks! When this was done we all sat and watched the videos of us on the tour which was amazing! Well worth the money for the elephant sanctuary a memory I will keep forever amazing day.
