The perfect blend of elephant encounters and real jungle adventure.

Morning with the elephants

Start by meeting, feeding and learning the stories of the rescued herd. No riding, no shows, no hooks: the sanctuary is run by a Karen Hilltribe family that has lived with elephants for generations.

Afternoon jungle trek

After saying goodbye to the elephants, follow a local guide on a 1.5-hour jungle trek up to a refreshing waterfall where you can swim and cool off before hiking back through the forest.

Lunch

Enjoy a traditional Karen lunch and fresh seasonal fruit, prepared by the Karen community that cares for the herd.
