Traveler reviews
Joseph Zwack
★★★★★4 months agoFANTASTIC experience all-around. Hotel pick-up and drop off. All Staff was professional, courteous, and knowledgeable. Leader “Fluke” was especially helpful with much elephant knowledge and our tour management. You get it all: education, making elephant food and feeding them by hand, elephant forest walk, and you get to scrub them with mud and wash them. Really unique, rewarding experience that all goes towards helping elephants. Included a Thai lunch too. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
