Very impressive - 10 cows, 1 bull, about 25 carers and if you are led with a small group A great experience. The story of elephants, which just 1,000 years ago had an important role in connection with Ankor Wat, is also super exciting.
So 100% recommended.

Two Activity Day - Excellent - Time with the elephants in the forest sanctuary was an incredible experience. We prepared their food, fed them, walked with them and watched them frolic in the water--such gentle giants. And the staff prepared for us a wonderful lunch. The afternoon on the lake was also really interesting. We observed the stilt houses, the markets and visited a unique pagoda, where my guide helped me understand some history of Buddhism. He was excellent and very accomodating. All in all, a day with many memories

One of the great travel experience! - This was one of THOSE travel days…the ones you never forget. The elephant experience was absolutely amazing! The opportunity to actually get into the mud and help them cool down by smearing the mud and then walk with them down to the river and help them wash off. Being next to them, literally looking into their eyes! It was a great experience. And the visit to Klingon Phluk and to le Sap river was extraordinary As a travel agent for 48 years ,I recommend this tour for a day that is eye-opening!

Outstanding experience - The Kulen Elephant Forest was amazing. It was so great to feed and walk with elephants and watch them in their day to day lives. It was also great to see a floating village and the Tonle Sap.
Seila was an outstanding guide. He was very knowledgeable and really lovely. We loved spending time with him and learning about Cambodia and its culture. He was very accommodating and an amazing photographer. We wish he was our tour guide for every experience in Siem Reap.

Do not miss the elephant sanctuary if you are in Siem Reap! - Our driver and guide did an expert job, was wonderful to learn more about Cambodia as we transited to the elephant sanctuary in a modern car. Once we departed from the sanctuary we proceeded to tour lake Tonlé Sap. They handled everything from arranging the boat to getting entry tickets. Overall they made it an effortless and enjoyable experience. The elephant sanctuary is definitely the highlight.
