What it's actually like.

This experience puts you close to elephants that are used to human presence, under the guidance of an experienced handler who explains their individual histories, behaviour and the broader conservation context in the region.

It's a slower-paced, more intimate alternative to a game drive — less about covering ground and more about time spent observing and learning about these animals up close, in a controlled and guided setting.

Price

$159 per person.

Format

Guided, close-proximity time with habituated elephants and their handlers.

Good for

Travellers wanting a slower, educational wildlife experience rather than a game drive.
