I loved my time here. Hearing the stories of each elephant was heart warming. It’s a place you can enjoy either with company or alone. I totally recommend. If you can, also donate. Well even visiting is an effort to the cause. Enjoy!

Such an amazing place, considering the work they do on behalf of orphaned baby elephants. The elephants are simply beyond adorable. It’s so fun, watching the babies play in mud and with each other and to pet them as they walk past. Also, while they enjoy playing in the muddy water, they can splash spectators with the muddy water, as they did the people standing around me (I had faster reflexes…lol)…such fun. Definitely a must -do activity.

One of a kind experience were you get up close and personal with the baby elephants. Family friendly setting and very informative as they take you through the baby elephants' stories of how they got there. Limited number of people per day so book in advance to avoid disappointment

This remains quite the experience for me. Watching and listening to the individual stories of each calf was very emotional. Sadly because of covid 19 restrictions, visitation is fully booked due to the limited number of people allowed in.

You need to book your place on their website and wait for a response (it took 2 days in my case). They are very organized. The price is totally worth is as this goes to the orphan elephants. It is possible to "adopt" one of the elephants right there.
