Get ready for a memorable visit to Bukit Elephant Park, where you can see and get close to the gentle giants. Start with a welcome drink and a briefing from your guides. Then its time to meet and feed the adorable elephants, learning about their natural behaviours in a habitat free from abuse. There's also a chance to watch a demonstration of rubber tapping and coconut milk production then learn to cook Tom Kha Kai.

I spent a long time researching elephant ‘sanctuaries’ as I’m aware that the vast majority are not as ethical as they claim! Bukit exceeded our expectations. All the guides were amazing and we learned many interesting facts. Smooth transfers. Would highly recommended this trip.

I have been on a similar experience in South Africa and there you can feed the elephant by putting the food in the mouth which will be more interesting

The staff at the elephant reserve were excellent. Friendly and warm. They explained what would happen at the event when we arrived. Their clear instructions were appreciated on how to approach the elephants.
