  • Kalau buleh kasi semua pelawat naik gajah la..
  • If you are interested in riding and bathing with the elephants you are advise to book in advance.This is due to the limit set by the center which is 100 person for its carrying capacity a day for the activity. This to ensure the elephants here are not stress and overload with visitors.
  • The elephant rides have been stopped as the elephants are now being retrained to a higher level as wild elephant rescuers....but visitors can still handfeed the small and big elephants. Bathing small elephants is only possible if the safety level of the nearby river is within limits. Visitors can also walk through the nearby jungle trail with a local guide a must. Have fun :-)...leave nothing but footprints, shoot nothing but photographs and take nothing but your litter out of the jungles!
