Fantastic, highly recommend. - Absolutely fantastic park. The staff there are wonderful and the animals are actually very well cared for. Do NOT choose to go to a place where you can ride or wash the elephants. This is NOT in their nature to do this and as they have been rescued, why would you want to put them through any more trauma. Bukit has got it right and know that these beautiful animals deserve respect.

An amazing experience, at this amazing elephant sanctuary! - What an experience this was!
We had one of the best days ever seeing the elephants! 7 female Asian Elephants who have all been rescued, each with their own care taker who love them like their own children! Was just amazing to feed them and cuddle them! Granny elephant being our fave, 77 years old she was just lovely!
We would recommend this to anyone!!

We thoroughly enjoyed our day in calming and organised surroundings, our tour guide was exceptional, very friendly and knowledgeable.
This park truly felt like a Sanctury where the elephants are truly looked after.

Great elephant park ... - This was just fab
Not too many people either
Tour guide was great keeping us up to date with info and the elephants names and ages
Got to be close to the elephants and feed them
Was just magical
I was a bit apprehensive at first as I really dont want to support these kind if touristy traps
However the animals were just loved .....yeah they had to come and say hello but they knew we were feeding them
We got to make the food then give them it personally
Loved it ....go !!!

Truly Wonderful - The most wonderful experience seeing and feeding the elephants. It was such a relief to find an elephant sanctuary that clearly cared for the elephants and wanted to protect them. We learnt that the elephants there had all been rescued from captivity and now had a safe home, where they could roam in lots of space! It was lovely to learn so much about them and see them play in the water! Would highly recommend.

Great experiance - Very ethical. No riding, bathing or forced activity. The elephants are all rescued from other facilities that made them work. The park staff allow the elephants to make their own decisions. They guided one to a water pool and it decided not to go in. The staff did not force it and let it walk away. Another elephamt entered the pool on its own. Another elephant wanted to get out of the sun and joined us in the shade under a pavilian. The staff did not interfeer.
