Take a guided walk through the sanctuary to observe free-roaming elephants in a safe, sustainable, and cruelty-free environment. All interactions are strictly observation-only in compliance with responsible tourism and international animal welfare standards. Guests do not feed, touch, ride, or bathe the elephants.
