Itinerary & Program
Introduction & Education Your journey begins with a hotel pickup in a comfortable vehicle. Upon arrival, our expert guides provide an insightful introduction to the history of Asian elephants. You’ll learn about the challenges they face and the individual rescue stories of the elephants currently living in the sanctuary.
Nutrition & Feeding Discover the dietary needs of these magnificent creatures. You will help prepare specialized “medicine balls”—a mix of nutritious ingredients used to keep the elephants healthy. Once the snacks are ready, head to our 400-meter-long Skywalk for a safe and respectful feeding session.
Natural Observation Follow the elephants at a respectful distance as they roam the grounds. You’ll have the chance to observe them heading to the mud pit, where they engage in natural cooling and socializing behaviors. Watching them play in the mud is a highlight for any wildlife lover!
Premium Dining After your time with the elephants, enjoy a deluxe buffet lunch featuring a variety of authentic Thai dishes, international favorites, and fresh seasonal fruits. Relax in our peaceful surroundings before saying a final goodbye to the herd.
