The programme takes place at an elephant sanctuary in the hinterland of Krabi, where you spend time with the animals rather than watching them from a distance. You are picked up at your hotel, driven to the site, welcomed there, and brought back by the same transfer at the end. The day is built around four moments, in this order: the forest walk alongside the elephants, feeding, the mud bath and the wash.
The walk is on foot, alongside the elephants, on the estate's paths. Then comes the feeding, the moment when contact really happens: the animals come to take what you hold out and let you approach. The mud bath is the messiest and the funniest part of the programme, mud being how an elephant protects itself from sun and insects. The wash that follows rinses everything off, animals and visitors together. Transfer and ticket are included.
Several formats are available, please ask us.
