Being interactive with Elephants!! - Jason arrived promptly at my hotel to drive me to the sanctuary. He was very knowledgeable about the countryside. Upon arrival, the sanctuary personnel took me to meet and interact with the elephants. They took video and photos to capture these unforgettable moments!! When done, Jason was right there and took me back to the hotel!!!
