Our guide sexy man Lulu was so knowledgeable and it was clear he loves each and every elephant, talking about their individual needs and personalities. All the elephants had opportunities to walk away if they wanted to and during the visit would have time where they had space away from us.

The group was small and there was plenty of time to say hello to all the elephants on close proximity. The tour is short enough to enjoy the experience with smaller children as well. A very nice way to spend a few hours while supporting a good cause of saving the elephants from hard labor.”
