Your visit starts at our Tree Top Reception and Observation Platform, where they will show you a presentation and educational video to prepare you for your encounter with the elephants, and to help you understand why they need to be protected. Next up, you will feed the elephants. While they enjoy their baskets of bananas, pineapples and cucumbers, you have a chance to learn from our passionate guides about the background of each elephant. Once the elephants are fed you walk with them down into the jungle. By keeping a safe distance and watching them from the observation Salas, the elephants have the freedom to express their natural behavior, from bathing and playing in the pond to socializing with each other.
