They truly love the animals and are working to promote education and understanding. Experience is short (snack feeding to the elephants), but very enjoyable and felt very safe.

A very ethical elephant experience. The elephants were very happy and the guides and staff were so lovely. There’s an air-conditioned cafe and toilets too.

Elephants... Need I say more? The experience was something else. Being so close to these amazing creatures and given the chance to feed them and be with them absolutely rocked my brain. I loved every second of it. Given the chance I'd come back time and time again. 13/10 would feed elephants again!

Up there with one of the best experiences ever! We stayed 2 nights at elephant hills. Only guests there so literally treated like royalty. Loved the character and charm of the place. Safari tent was amazing esp looking out onto the rainforest! Staff were amazing, friendly and couldn't do enough for you! Food was amazing and kids loved taking part in the cooking lessons. Trips were amazing and getting so close to the elephants is one we will never forget! Cant recommend this place highly enough! Would love to go back

Feeding elephants was good. Watching them swim and just be themselves also good There were photo opportunities before the feeding which I felt was to the detriment of the elephants. They want food and to go - not to have tourists touching them
