Dive into the world of elephants at a sanctuary on this half-day tour. Kick things off with an introduction to the sanctuary's mission – this place is all about taking care of the elephants in a respectful way – as well as learning about their behaviour. Then, you can offer these gentle giants some tasty treats from a tray, before taking a stroll beside them. Get hands-on making nutritious snacks for the elephants, the perfect way to care for and connect with these creatures, before tucking into your own vegetarian lunch.

Very ethical elephant sanctuary so nice to see the elephants so well cared for and loved. Good that it was a hands off experience so that there was no stress to the animals Food was available which was very kind but probably not needed. Bag drawing great for kids but not needed for adults

I don’t think it’s catered for a 5 and 2 year old as it’s pretty long for them and the explanations and guided tour is more suitable for adults. So I wouldn’t recommend it for small kids. We left earlier as it was too much for them. Otherwise it was great. An elephant tour is great for kids but I would find something shorter and lighter on the kids.

A fabulous insight into the work of the sanctuary, so interesting and very informative. It was great to see the elephants eating food we had prepared and hearing their stories before they came to be at the sanctuary. Plenty of opportunity to ask any questions over a delicious lunch. All in all a great experience.

It was a very enjoyable afternoon at the sanctuary and the staff were very friendly and knowledgeable.

Loved. It wasn’t too busy and elephants get to do what they want. And not all for show .

An amazing experience all round. Great experience and a very knowledgable guide
