Half-day observation at Elephant Jungle Sanctuary from Phuket

5/5
20 reviews

Caring for elephants is more than just an activity; it's a heart-warming encounter that's guaranteed to leave a lasting impression. Head to a local Elephant Jungle Sanctuary and you'll spend half learning all about these gentle giants, and after making some magical memories, finish off with a delicious Thai lunch.

Leaving Phuket, you'll head straight for the Elephant Sanctuary – tucked away in a serene spot, this sanctuary prides itself on being a safe space for these intelligent animals. Upon arrival, you'll dive straight into an introduction to the programme's conservation efforts. Then, it's time to come face-to-face with the elephants. You'll get a glimpse of feeding time with these gentle giants, and watch them take a mud bath.

You'll wrap things up with a tasty Thai lunch to reflect on your day, with an extra surprise. A visit here is not only an item to check off your bucket list, but an experience to cherish for a lifetime.

    Excellent time at the elephant sanctuary . We learned about why they ended up in the sanctuary, fed them, washed them after a mud bath and swim and then made a pad thai which we ate accompanied by some food prepared by the staff. The guide was fabulous - friendly , informative and encouraging. An all round fantastic experience

    I enjoyed everything but would have liked to see Round a bit more if the sanctuary. Also our guide didn’t tell us our camp number so we have had some difficulty in receiving our photos

    We really enjoyed our trip to the elephant Sanctuary. Our guide Kay was very knowledgeable & informative/helpful & the elephant handlers (Chicken) were friendly/helpful & dedicated to their work. We also learnt to cook Pad Thai here & we made ink coloured clothes to take home as souvenirs. Most importantly the elephants have been rescued and homed in this safe environment as we would never support wrongdoing to animals.. This was a great trip.
