Tour Overview
Escape the matrix, come to Chiang Mai, and live with elephants! These beautiful creatures were captured at a young age, separated from their family and forced to learn tricks to perform to tourists. Joining us helps fund their rescue, and pay for their food and health care. Your responsibility while you are with us is to love and care for the elephants. They each have unique personalities and personal preferences. You will be preparing their meals, feeding them, joining them on their jungle treks plus much more. Want to stay for longer? The more weeks you add, the cheaper the cost!
