Visiting the Elephant Jungle Sanctuary, the most ethical sanctuary in Phuket, gives curious visitors a unique opportunity to interact with magnificent elephants in the safety and security of their natural home. Our trained English-speaking guides give visitors insight into the behavior and the personal history of our animals, while our mahouts help people realize incredible life experiences such as bathing elephants in Phuket or feeding them by hand.
The Sanctuary itself has stunning views of beaches and jungles, which visitors can appreciate at their own pace. The elephants are more than happy to let their new friends check out the view or take a few photos so that everyone remembers this Phuket tour.
The package deal includes two traditional Thai buffet meals, drinking water, and even food for feeding the elephants!
When you arrive at the sanctuary, the guides will give you a basic overview of the tour, how our welfare programs take place and some information about the animals. Since the tour can get messy and wet (in a very fun way!) we suggest that you bring some things with you. Bring a hat, sunscreen, a bathing suit, a towel and a change of clothes.
Throughout your visit to Elephant Jungle Sanctuary, you will be feeding, bathing and even playing with the animals. You will even get to tell everybody you know that you went swimming with elephants in Phuket! It is also important to us that you learn as much as possible about these animals and why it is important to protect them. As an ethical sanctuary in Phuket, we want to promote the ethical treatment of these magnificent animals all around the world. With the money we raise from visits and donations, we can contribute to their welfare by rescuing them, feeding them, provide veterinary care and giving them land and infrastructure for them to live on.
