A Day with an Elephant

Your tour will start around 1400-1430 hrs when your driver would pick you up from your hotel and transfer to the Elephant camp.

First contact is always important! When meeting an elephant for the first time you have to let them catch your smell. Make them feel comfortable by stroking and talking to them while looking into their eyes. Let the elephant feel your energy and spirit.

On your tour the mahout (elephant caretaker) will teach you ways to communicate with your elephant using some of the phrases in the 18-word 'elephant language'. You could tell her to eat, to finish her food when she stopped mid-chew and to follow you'll.

You might have heard of the saying “love goes through the stomach”? Well, elephants are no exception. Feeding is the easiest way to gain their trust. For a couple of hours you will get a chance to feed them while learning their feeding habits, and what they enjoy eating the most.

Learn about the completely natural paint that is used to paint the thick elephant skin. Learn how to create a traditional painting on the elephants face. If your not great at drawing don’t worry, we can paint the outlines on their face if you like and then you fill in the gaps with the colors of your choice.

Later in the evening you’ll be driven back to your hotel.
