Experience highlights

  • A genuine ethical sanctuary where rescued elephants roam freely, with no chains, no rides, and no performances. Just elephants living as they should, cared for by mahouts who have built real bonds of trust with each animal.
  • Watch the herd bathe, forage, and socialise in their natural environment, then get hands-on by preparing nutrient-rich Powerballs and feeding them yourself. It's the kind of up-close encounter that stays with you long after the holiday ends.
  • The 400m Skywalk gives you a completely different perspective, feeding bananas and bamboo to the elephants as they gather below. Hotel transfers and a full lunch with vegetarian options are included, so the whole day is taken care of.
  • Sessions run at 09:00 and 14:00. Booking ahead means you can pick the time that fits your day and have your pickup confirmed in advance.

Frequently asked questions

Elephant Kingdom is a sanctuary where elephants are free from chains and hard labor. They can roam around freely, but they are not to be played with. The mission is to rescue as many elephants as possible to help the sanctuary grow and form a larger herd.

Children will love interacting with the elephants and helping to feed them. It's important to teach them early on that elephants belong in their natural habitat. Children under 5 can join for free with a paying adult.

We are open year round, rain or sunshine. The elephants enjoy the rain as well. Our doors are open regardless of the weather conditions, and we provide raincoats and umbrellas if needed. Visiting Elephant Kingdom on a rainy day has its own unique charm!

An unforgettable experience

It may seem expensive at first time, but the experience worth every penny. This sanctuary is not an elephant show, here the animals are treated with respect after having been rescued from a difficult life. That justifies the price, plus you will learn a lot about elephants thanks to the wonderful staff and you will wander in a very nice environment. Highly recommended.

It's nice to see that the elephants are doing very well there.

They seem to be very well taken care of and happy, living as how elephants should close to the wild. The tour was very well organized and led by kind and knowledgeable staff who answered all kinds of questions. You get to feed and pet (in a gentle and respectful way) the elephants which is a surreal experience.
