It was such an incredible experience being able to feed and watch the elephants bathe, but knowing that the sanctuary is ethical and conscious. We had such lovely interactions with the animals without it feeling forced, and we really felt the animals were respected and happy. I would 100% recommend choosing this sanctuary over any others in the area”
