"I have no idea what is wrong with the people that gave 1 star reviews. We were a group and our tour company has a great relationship with the family so maybe that helps. The 4 elephants were very happy to come get snacks from us. We did stop and buy small watermelons from a roadside stand on the way so we had lots of interaction. Ken has an amazing personali..."

"Fantastic place where the elephants live wild. We did a 1 night / 2 day trip with them and it was one of the best tours weโ€™ve ever done. We had a great trek followed by an amazing night at the elephant village with Ken and his family who made us feel super welcome. The second day we spent with the elephants and it was wonderful. Thanks for everything guys! C..." Read more

"Die Lage ist wunderschรถn jedoch war es weniger natรผrlich als ich mir dies vorgestellt hatte. Zwei Elefanten trugen โ€žeine Glockeโ€œ, was nach mir jedoch mehr eine Vorrichtung war diese anzubinden."

"WOW! I canโ€™t believe how amazing it was to see these magnificent giants ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜ Mr. Ken was very kind and explained that they rescued these creatures from other elephant riding places where they were tortured with sticks and were rode on! Mr. Ken and the village do everything they can to give the best life for them so they can live freely ๐Ÿฅฐ how amazing is that..." Read more

"Fantastic sanctuary, happy elephants, wonderful guides. The jungle trek was technical in the rain, but such a cool experience. Some reviews state the elephants have ropes around their necks; some do, the ropes hold bells โ€” like cows in Switzerland, it helps let the keepers know where they are. I was worried about the elephant welfare coming here, because of..." Read more

"It was great to see the four elephants there. However 3 of them had a rope around its neck. None of them had marks behind their ears. We fed the elephants, learned commands such as to open their mouth (not sure if this is ethical), trekked through the jungle with them and watched them bathe. Unfortunately we didnโ€™t get a chance to bathe with them. During t..." Read more

"If I could give this place 6 stars I would. The entire day was incredible. The morning was spent feeding the elephants, wandering through the jungle with them (at the elephants will), then a walk back through the jungle to a beautiful waterfall. Lunch was excellent, cooked fresh and very authentic. After a quick afternoon nap by the river, we dived into the..." Read more
