My family and I went here a week ago.
This had to be one of the most amazing experiences we have ever done, the staff are fantastic, the elephants are beautiful and amazing to be around. Walking around while the elephants are roaming freely getting to pat and feed them was amazing, we were lucky enough that one also wanted a swim when we were there.
The experience was value for money and they even through in a free drink at the end,
I could not recommend this place highly enough!
