Elephant Jungle Sanctuary Phuket is perched on a picturesque hilltop overlooking 2/12 Kathu , 83120, Thailand
We opted for the half day experience which starts at after 12pm and they wait until the whole group who have signed up for the day arrive. It is included with lunch but that is not served till the end which is well past 3:15pm so make sure you are well fed when you start this. The experience was fantastic. We got to feed the elephants bananas, make some special rice balls from scratch, take them in for a mud bath followed by the pond bath to wash off the mud and then a separate shower for the humans involved 😛 . An unforgettable experience is offered by the team and the guide.
I would agree with the reviews I’ve read about how good this is. I’d add: Along with Mr K, ‘Kangaroo’, Mr. Handsome (photographer) & all the mahouts are friendly, knowledgeable and super-helpful. They answered questions, took photos for us (even ‘official’ ones by Mr. H are free) and were good fun. We even no idea why Trip Advisor says this is not an ethical experience; it most certainly is!Excellent lunch too. We did the half day, feed and swim activity. Beach shoes a must (when you go in the water).
We had such a fantastic time. We were in Thailand for about 2 weeks and this was the highlight of the trip for me. What an amazing experience. The elephants were will l taken care of. We got to feed them, bathe them, shower with them… They took fantastic pictures at no additional charge. The house, I hate I can’t remember her name now was so much fun and made me feel special for my birthday. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS EXPERIENCE!!
We had an absolutely perfect experience at the Elephant Jungle Sanctuary in Phuket! Feeding and bathing with the elephants was unforgettable and felt truly special. The staff were friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly cared deeply for the well-being of the elephants. It’s heartwarming to see these beautiful creatures treated with such respect.We highly recommend this place to anyone looking for an ethical and enjoyable encounter with elephants. A must-visit in Phuket!
I enjoyed my half day trip to camp 2 of the Elephant jungle sanctuary in Phuket. The staff were kind and if was a once in a lifetime experience to spend the day with elephants. I would recommend to anyone who is in Phuket
This was just an unreal experience. We got right up and personal with the elephants! We learned so much about these gorgeous animals. They each have there quirky own personalites. Lunch was tasty too. The workers all had big smiles and seemed to really enjoy working there and enjoy teaching all of us. We are a family of 5 with adults. It was so much fun, would do again!!!
Unbelievable experience! Made me feel very humble. These gentle giants deserve the love and care given to them by all the staff. They were also amazing Eddie and Smiler were so helpful and their knowledge was impeccable. Loved this place and will visit other EJS locations for sure.
Elephant jungle sanctuary Phuket It’s the fantastic highlight moment of my trip at Phuket, Elephant live peacefully eating n bathing without working. Seeing them happy n we are happy. The area is clean n tidy, with space for us to chill and eat our lunch. It was a fun time feeding and bathing these gentle giants. Good times fly by so quickly . We will definitely come back next trip to visit them again. Thank you Reindeer n Kangaroo ✨
We had an absolutely wonderful afternoon at the sanctuary. The staff were friendly and informative. We were able to interact with the elephants, feed them, bathe them and the afternoon even included a cooking class. It was an afternoon we will not forget as a family. Well worth the money. A must do!! Professional photos provided afterwards too which were great.
We have had an amazing day feeding the elephants and watching them bathe and play in their natural environment.The knowledge, passion, and love for the animals was clear to see. The afternoon was filled with activity including a pad thai cooking lesson, and the buffet served was delicious, particularly the chicken in coconut milk.A big thank you to Eddie and the team who made this a very special day for us. Highly recommend this experience.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐+This experience is a once in life time opportunity. . . We did the half day. Bathing with elephants, Lunch learning pad Thai and how helpful the sanctuary is for the care of the elephants.. well worth the visit if your in Thailand.. Id give more stars if I could.. very helpful staff, lovely care of the elephants. . Very good trip ?
Such an unforgettable day. This was an amazing day where you had a lot of contact time with the elephants. All of the staff were very friendly and make the experience very enjoyable especially Nancy, No. 1 and Lindsey from Camp 2. Would recommend to all ages. Was a lovely touch that all the photos taken were free and easy to download. We were surprised with gifts at the end from the team, an amazing lunch which included a tutorial on how to make pad thai.
This sanctuary is well run with enthusiastic and conscientious staff. Hannah and her team at Camp 2 in Phuket did a fantastic job educating us about the elephants in their care. We participated in the food preparation, feeding, and bathing of the elephants, all while learning about the purpose and mission of the sanctuary. The elephants all appeared well cared for, happy, and in good health, and clearly trusted their care takers. A fun and valuable experience.
Was only a very short trip which was nice. The setting was not as nice as some of the other sanctuaries we have visited. Staff were very welcoming and organised. When the experience started we were blown away. Many elephants to interact with and the half day experience gave us plenty of time with them. The mahoots were also very helpful and great with the kids. Other activities were good (such as the cooking class) but just couldn’t compete with the experience with the elephants. On top off it all you get free photos and the photographer worked hard throughout the day.
Superb. Such a privilege to spend the morning with the beautiful elephants and see the great work the jungle elephant sanctuary are doing. Really enjoyed the added bonus of a pad Thai cooking demo and the canvas tote bag. Thank you for a great experience xx
I had looked forward to this visit for a long time and was not disappointed. It was a joy and privilege to meet these amazing elephants, to feed them and be with them in the mud pool and then scrubbing them in the swimming pool was an absolute joy. Our guide Smiler and all her team were very informative and obviously cared for the animals and at the end of our visit we all enjoyed a very tasty Thai lunch. An unforgettable visit. Would highly recommend this trip.
This sanctuary is wonderful. Rhe guides are knowledgeable and extremely friendly. They explain where the elephants come from and the conditions they were living in. Here they are fed, well cared for, and have vetinary care. Ethical tourism pays to rescue further elephants from the tourism and logging trade. The vegetarian lunch served after the walk through the sanctuary is very tasty, and there is an abundance of food. An excellent experience
This sanctuary rescues mistreated elephants and give them a better life. We got to learn about some of the elephants stories while feeding, mudding and bathing them. If you go to Phuket, I would really recommend visiting this sanctuary. Amazing people and amazing elephants ?
Great experience, very friendly staff, lovely elephants ? It takes about 3 hours, do not forget to bring your swimsuits to be able to play with the elephants in the pool.
Very lovely facility and the elephants appeared to be in high spirits and well taken care of. We did the feeding only option which was perfect. We fed them and took photos and chatted with the employees. The employees were very kind and knowledgeable. Great experience overall. Exceptionally clean both the elephants and the facility.
