"I had Chart as my guide and had an absolutely amazing experience! There are 2 seperate families of female elephants that are loved and looked after, some of them have been rescued from elephant riding. I even helped to make them some medicine! They live in the jungle and you must hike up the hill to find them. Theres also a nice little waterfall at the top...." Read more

"Cudowny czas spędzony ze słoniami, które spotkamy w lesie. Niezapomniane przeżycie byłam z dziećmi, w cenie było karmienie słoni, pyszny lunch i przygotowywanie mikstury dla słoni (leki witaminy) a także spacer w terenie z odpoczynkiem przy wodospadzie ☺️"

"Best part of my trip so far. Had to hike around a bit to find them in thir jungle. Got to feed and pet the elephants. Noting is forced and it's really clear the staff love and have a great relationship with the elephants."

"My experience here was very positive and felt genuine. The elephants are well cared and treated. I would like to point out that this place could be a huge challenge for people with reduced mobility since there are many steps and irregular terrain. We were given a delicious and local-style lunch and were able to spend a lot of time with the animals. The peopl..." Read more

"Had a good experience. Practices seem ethical with respect for the elephants that roam freely in the jungle and only come to you if and for as long they want. I would recommend"

"El verdadero santuario ético de Chiang Mai. Los elefantes son parte de la familia, se los puede observar comiendo y tomándose un baño pero no montarlos ni ninguna otra cosa que los moleste. Mr Kent es super agradable y nos enseño mucho acerca de los elefantes y también de la cultura de la gente de la village. Hicimos la experiencia de dos días y una noche y..." Read more

Everything was amazing from start to fi..." Read more

"I'm very excited to visit this place in Aug 2026. I've done massive homework on Asian Elephant sanctuaries in north Thailand, and this place is authentic and ethical. Taking 16 Karen students on an Educational Excursion in November to meet Ken and get hands-on."

"Expérience au cœur de la jungle avec respect des éléphants. Ici on ne monte pas dessus on les admirer dans la jungle et dans la rivière s'ils y vont. Ken est un guide incroyable. Vous passerez la matinée avec lui, les éléphants et une cascade et vous pourrez déjeuner un délicieux repas préparé par sa femme. Je recommande ++"

"Wonderful experience. Hard work walking down to the camp and back again. Worth every minute. Ken and his family are lovely caring people and really enjoy what they're doing. Have to say, you do need a certain level of fitness for the walk."

"No es un show ni un zoo. Los elefantes estan libres en su terreno, los dueños son granjeros durante la epoca de lluvia. Simplemente te llevan a los sitios donde les dan de comer para verlos. Tambien te llevan a una cascada para refrescarte si hace calor."
