Elephant Jungle Sanctuary Phuket

I booked the half-day tour. It was my first time experiencing elephants up close. The elephants are very well cared for here and seemed peaceful. At the beginning, the tour itinerary was explained. Sky, who explained everything at the start, was a really friendly and humorous person. Afterwards, we were allowed to feed the elephants watermelons, then prepare food and take mud baths with the elephants, followed by bathing with them in clean water. The elephants were very peaceful and let us stroke them without any problems. I had the impression that they really enjoyed it and the staff treated the animals with great sensitivity. Afterwards, there was a cooking class on how to prepare Pad Thai. I really recommend it and it was a wonderful morning.

What a fantastic and rewarding experience! The Elephant Jungle Sanctuary provides a healthy environment for rescued elephants, in essence a retirement home for them. Our guide for the morning was Nancy, she was very knowledgeable, and obviously cares deeply for these gentle giants. We got to observe, feed, wash, make up meals and just be with the elephants. They are clearly well cared for by their assigned caretakers. There are excellent gift shops, and I would urge you to spend generously as you are supporting what is a hugely worthwhile sanctuary. Thank you Nancy for your guidance and information, we look forward to returning in the very near future.

K was INCREDIBLE! The elephants were absolutely majestic. The entire experience was magical and unforgettable. This sanctuary is exactly what you’re looking for, to be up close and connect with these beautiful mammals. We fed them, we bathed them, we rinsed them off, we made their food and then learned how to make pad Thai! The lunch they serve is delicious. K was our guide and really made the experience complete with his humor and passion for the elephants. Thank you K Love, your NY spice girls
