"Amazing. Just amazing. We loved walking through the jungle and finding the elephants. If you’re worried about “bathing” and if it’s ethical (a HUGE concern of mine) - the elephants had complete free will to do as they pleased - some went into the water out of choice, others didn’t. Completely their choice. Mr Ken was awesome!!"

"Siamo andati a questo santuario per avere un’esperienza il più vera possibile e nel rispetto degli elefanti. Abbiamo svolto la mezza giornata ed è stata un’esperienza fantastica, con un breve trekking alla ricerca degli elefanti nella foresta, una nuotata nelle cascate lì vicino ed un buonissimo pranzo cucinato da loro. La nostra guida Chat ci ha fatto capir..." Read more

"Die Elefanten sind frei im Wald herum gelaufen und wurden mit Futter angelockt. Wir sind zu einem Wasserfall gelaufen und konnten dort baden. Die Elefanten sind dort frei."

"This is my 2nd time here! I definitely recommend it. Ken is great and it is great to see a real sanctuary where the animals can roam free and there is no washing or riding. Great scenery, great lunch and great vibes 🙌"

"The place is indeed a sanctuary for the elephants. During the tour you will go trough the jungle to search for them and once you find them you'll peacefully have the chance to watch them eat close to you and also to touch them if you are gentle. One of the best experience so far ! Feeling one with the nature"

"On a passé une super journée c’était ouf! L’endroit est très beau et les éléphants sont vraiment tranquilles. On peut les toucher. Il y a aussi une cascade dans laquelle on s’est baigné c’était génial. Très très peu de monde on était seul à vrais dires avec 4 éléphants en liberté!!"

"La experiencia en el santuario de elefantes de Ken fue INCREÍBLE. Es un santurario ÉTICO de verdad: no se tocan los elefantes, no se bañan, no se maltratan. Tú eres solamente un observador de su mundo, en su casa, la montaña. Los elefantes se acercaban a nosotros, cuando querían, no de forma forzada como en otros santuarios. Ken nos contó la historia de los..." Read more
