Our guide Noon and her colleagues were very involved in the welfare of the elephants. Although an elephant normally cannot be approached or touched, they walked around freely and were unfortunately used to people due to their bad past. The elephants are well cared for here and have a large area to walk around (fortunately no elephant rides here). Thnx Noon, you were great❤️. Greetings Rob & Patricia
