Summary: We had a wonderful time visiting Elephant Nature care, it was a great mix of cool different experiences. We started off making elephant food and seed balls (for helping grow more food) and then feeding the elephants in small groups. After that we went into the jungle/field and observed the elephants in the wild, this also included opportunities for people to take pictures in a natural setting with the elephants. We got about 30-45 minutes here and then went to an observation deck where we could watch an elephant bathe herself in the mud. We also got to use slingshots (away from the elephant) to shoot our seed balls into the field which was a lot of fun. After a short walk returning to the entrance, we had an opportunity to individually line up to wash the mud off of an elephant, and then watch the elephant clean off in a pool as well. There was a video viewing and a change to check out the gift shop before returning to the vehicles to our hotels. Overall this was a great experience that our whole group enjoyed. It felt very much like the animals are cared for and respected, there was a moment where an elephant wasn’t interested in taking pictures with anyone and they made sure to allow her space and there was no forcing the elephant to comply in anyway, we were just guided to a different elephant that was okay with people being around. The only thing I didn’t love was that we were there in a very large group (50-75 people or so), though it was nice that we were all split into smaller groups (8-10 people). I do wish there was an option to have a private or small group experience, especially when walking around the field with the elephants. I also wish we had more time to do this- as a photographer I did really want to a bit more time observing and photographing them. As a whole though, this was an awesome experience and we loved it all and would definitely return.
