⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An amazing experience – highly recommend Lily Elephant Sanctuary! I was initially torn between choosing a completely hands-off elephant sanctuary and somewhere that allowed a little closer interaction & I’m absolutely thrilled we chose Lily Elephant Sanctuary! The elephants have been rescued from a life of performing & the whole experience almost feels like being a keeper in training for the day. You get the wonderful opportunity to feed & spend time up close with these beautiful animals, but it never feels forced, excessive or as though the elephants are being exploited. What really stood out was how incredibly kind & gentle the handlers were with the elephants. There is clearly a genuine bond between them & the elephants appear happy, relaxed and very well cared for. It was such a special experience and struck exactly the right balance between meaningful interaction and respect for the animals. A wonderful sanctuary, lovely people and an unforgettable experience. I couldn’t recommend it highly enough! 🐘❤️

Absolutely fantastic experience with my family. The staff were amazing, so knowledgeable about the elephants, the whole experience from start to finish was unreal. Our children 6, 9 and 12 year old had the most amazing experience and loved every part of the experience.

Honestly, one of the best experiences of my life. We got too walk along side the elephants and respected thier space, plus give them a sea wash, also make thier food and feed them. The elephants were so taken care of, one handler too one elephant and absolutely NO RIDING - which i love. One great thing they do is recylcle elephant waste for fertiliser, making paper and coffee - it was great learning about thier sustainable efforts. I would do this again in a heart beat!
