Most visitors rave about getting up close with well-cared-for elephants on spacious grounds, with many praising the knowledgeable and friendly staff who clearly know their animals. Families especially love the hands-on elements like feeding and ear scrubbing, and several reviewers appreciate that their money supports the elephants' care and breeding program. The overnight cabin experience gets particular praise for its originality and attention to detail. That said, there's some controversy worth noting. A few visitors question certain practices and whether this truly operates as a sanctuary, particularly around occasional public events. Some felt the standard tour was rushed and impersonal for the price, with limited elephant interaction time. However, the majority of guests found the experience educational and genuinely enjoyed seeing these magnificent animals in a spacious environment. If you're looking for an elephant encounter and book in advance, you'll likely come away with great photos and memories, though some tours may feel brief.
Such a cool experience with my daughter. She loved it. I got some cool pics of the elephants and learned so much.
