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

Sky and Annie were great hosts and the programme was perfect. We did the feed and shower morning programme and it was humbling to interact with these beautiful animals. The sanctuary seems to genuinely focus on the care of the animals and it was good to learn about their new gentle life away from the crueller elements of tourism. The cost of the entrance goes toward the care of the elephants which is great. Pick up and drop off at the hotel was also really welll organised. Highly recommended. Thank you for a wonderful morning!
