Elephant Jungle Sanctuary

An unforgettable experience, from the guide- Eddie and his plethora of information, to feeding the elephants and then bathing them. A tour that I would recommend to anyone who visits Phuket.

We are a family of 3 with a 2.5 year old who visited the sanctuary for the half day ‘Watch Me’ experience. It was just us and one other couple lead by Eddie and we thought it was incredible. We started our day by feeding the elephants a breakfast of bananas, watermelon and grass, which was followed by making them elephant sushi balls which contained their medicine. Following this we made tie dyed bandanas that we were able to take home with us, and our daughter even got to make one on her own! Next, we had a delightful experience watching the elephants bathe and were able to shower them off afterwards and spend some time with them. We then learnt about how the elephant poop is recycled to farmers and how 50% is made into paper in a local factory and we were able to watch a part of this process. Next, we made pad Thai for lunch and were also supplied other foods for lunch. Finally, we made the elephants a snack of fruit salad and they came to us to eat their snack before we waved goodbye to our large friendly friends. Before we left we were gifted a tote bag to take home. We learnt a lot about the elephants; their past and their handlers and their gentle nature. We would hands down recommend this experience to everyone! You can do the full day experience and the half day bathe with me experience as well. 90% of ticket prices go to the feeding & looking after the elephant, and the rest goes to the caretakers and staff.

We had an amazing experience at Elephant Jungle Sanctuary! Smiley took such great care of us and was incredibly warm and friendly. Melon, Raindeer, and K were also very kind and attentive. They explained everything in detail and even showed us how paper is made from elephant poop – it was truly fascinating! Everything was perfect from start to finish, and we are so grateful for this unforgettable experience. Highly recommended!

If you are reading this you have come to the right place. This sanctuary is OUTSTANDING. You simply MUST book an elephant experience here. The elephants are so well treated so you know they are in safe hands. ❤️ Not a chain in sight, all elephants have their own minder who just tags along with the elephant. The experience is the most special, you feed them, you give them a mud bath, you scrub them and you have a giant elephant shower with them. It was everything I dreamt of and more. It is living rent free in my mind and will be for the rest of my life. Please, PLEASE if you are reading this book it. Don't miss out. It is honestly the BEST. Thanks for reading my review and enjoy the elephants 😎

An amazing experience! Highlight of my trip. Mr K was a knowledgeable and fun tour guide , the elephants are well taken care of , fed well and loved. Very ethical. I highly recommend. I'll also donate to them for food and medicine. Great for all ages.
