Programme Details
Be picked up at either 08:00 or 13:00. Enjoy a magical morning or afternoon mingling with rehabilitated Asian elephants at Phuket Elephant Sanctuary. This scenic slice of paradise is sanctuary and home for both elephants and forest wildlife. The visit begins with a pleasant ride down a village lane into the grounds of our sanctuary to the Tree Top Reception and Observation Platform.
Have an opportunity to meet some of the elephants and learn both who they are and why they need protection. Then there’s a unique opportunity to feed the elephants and join them on a leisurely walk through the forest. Along the way, have the privilege of observing their natural behavior and watching as they go about their daily activities such as foraging, bathing and playing in one of the three lagoons.
For people who love animals and prefer their interactions with them to be on a basis of respect and adoration, this is one of Thailand’s best and most feel-good experiences. It will provide truly exceptional insight into just how remarkable elephants really are.
A delicious vegetarian Thai buffet lunch or dinner is served at our Tree Top Observation Platform with time to rest, relax and enjoy the tranquility and beauty of the sanctuary. (L/D)
