A wonderful experience - We were picked up on time by a friendly driver and had lunch on arrival at Chiang mai Elephant Care. After our lunch we had a brief talk with Ford, our guide and then went off to feed the elephants. Lucky, the youngster was so excited and came running along to see us. We learned lots about the elephants from Ford including helping him prepare some fibrous balls for the elephants. After they ate these, we followed them along to the river and watched them enjoy cooling off. A really great day.

The most beautiful day - So beautiful, so well informed, so well cared for. Our guide Ford was funny knowledgeable and welcoming. The elephants are well cared for and can choose what they want to do the baby is curious, greedy, and likes to play cheeky games especially in the water.

Great elephant time - Excellent tour. We participated in the afternoon trip on 1st March. Pick up was timely, small group, great guide. 3 elephants, 2 female adults and one Baby. Plenty of time to interact with them what made the tour outstanding. We loved being there, can only recommend. Truly ethical.

Wunderful small elephant camp - A truly wonderful experience at a camp with a small herd of elephants. A beautiful place where a small group of visitors feeds the elephants, prepares food, learns something, and observes. The focus is on respect and the well-being of the animals.

Unforgettable!! Fantastic! - An unforgettable experience with elephants; you will never have seen them so close, you will feed them, give them their vitamins, in a setting where serenity and benevolence are masters. The guide Tong "Cruise" is very nice and inexhaustible on the cause of elephants. Come in a spirit of respect for elephants, they will return it to you a thousand times!
