大好きなゾウに触れられて最高の1日でした。Manifa Travelがゾウを大切にしているのが伝わりました。
By Tsuruda M for [EUR] F03 MAHOUT INTRODUCTION TRAINING PROGRAM . KUANG SI FALLS on Sep 25, 2024
Phantastic experience ! Ride on elephants neck was very special, great experience. No elephant ride with wooden construction which results in pain for the elephant. Elephants can move on 280 ha of land. You can feed the elephants with sugar cane. They like it as a snack, but their main food they take by themselfes in the forest. It is a great place for elephants which grow up with people and can not survive in wilderness. They need a camp like this to survive ! Please visit this camp to support this concept ! Organisation of the trip booked at MANIFA was excellent. Pick up at the hotel, transfer to boat and privat boat to the elephant camp. Return to hotel directly by car. At the camp drinks and food was provided free of charge. Thanks to MANIFA travel for this great service ! Next year we will come again to this beautiful place best regards from Austria Isabella&Gerhard
