Nice Elephant riding. Hopefully you dont get the one who gives you a complete shower
Loved the ethical treatment of the elephants and the beauty of the oasis on the river banks
Good work for old work elephants. Helps local community improves their environment
We went for the full day trip tour and had a blast. It was a ton of fun being on an elephant. Seemed to be an organized and friendly operation with the animals well taken care of. I'm not an expert on the training methods but it didn't seem to look like the animals were mistreated in my opinion nor did the handlers show any ill will. Lots of playfulness and splashing and a lot of sauntering as a few just wanted to eat and hang out but the weight of a handler and a tourist on the top didn't seem to phase them. Not sure about baskets as there were'nt any at this place but I would imagine it could be more intrusive. Lunch was great. View was spectacular.
Was nice to get to experience seeing elephants at close proximity like that however I much preferred when I was able to see them in Africa in the wild. There were telltale signs that the sanctuary misrepresented the way the elephants were actually treated which made me a little uncomfortable - though the lives of the elephants were likely much better than they had been in the logging industry. I chose not to ride elephants. The staff seemed nice but the experience still left an odd taste in my mouth.
Too crowded but nonetheless, very helpful and friendly guide. Dont get it the serve buffet suitable for 1 family
Super experience. A little expensive but it worth it.
象の頭皮は意外に柔らかいけどけっこう剛毛。象に跨りノシノシ歩く貴重な体験。
Deze moet je doen was echt even lekker en je krijgt het gevoel dat de olifanten echt goed verzorgd worden toppie
Had an excellent day at the elephant village. The team seemed very committed to the well-being of the elephants. Unlike the other elephant "experiences" in the area, here, elephants are only ridden bareback and have much better living conditions.
Friendly staff, looks like the elephants are well looked after.
Le personnel et le guide était parfait mais je ne suis pas sur que tout ça est vraiment dans l'intérêt des éléphants
