Step by step, all other participants are collected for this activity until the entire travel group is completely together.
Welcome and Introduction
When you arrive at the elephant shelter, there you will be warmly welcomed, and you will be receive an introduction about the concept and objective from samui elephant Home. The elephants here can have a pleasant everyday life. As you will experience for yourself, the muhats and employees of the elephant shelter treat the magnificent pachyderms very lovingly and sensitively.
Preparation of the meal
Participate in preparing a meal and learn how to make supplementary food for elephants. Afterward, you will feed organic food from our camp such as grass and bananas and interact to take picture with elephants. It will be an emotional, unique moment.
Watch the elephants
As soon as the pachyderms have enjoyed their meal, you can also take the time to watch the elephants while they are strolling through the extensive grounds. The elephants need a rest break, which the trained staff pays very careful attention to. If you have any questions, the employees are always at your disposal.
Enjoy with elephants
After the elephants have rested, they often have fun playing and taking a pleasant dip. Now you have the unique opportunity to experience the participation to play and shower with elephants in the giant bath to take care of the elephants. Now it's worth having the camera ready because you won't get that close to an elephant that's used to humans.

Ein unglaublich berührendes und wunderschönes Erlebnis. Wir sind so glücklich und dankbar diesen Tag verbracht zu haben. Die Elefanten, die Natur und das Miteinander zwischen Tier und Mensch haben mich tief bewegt. Danke an das tolle Team des samui elephant home und danke an die gesamte Organisation dieses Trips. Wir haben soviel Herz und Liebe verspürt.
Der Besuch hat mich total beeindruckt. Ich kann dieses Event nur weiterempfehlen. Und beim nächsten würde ich es wieder buchen, einfach um zu sehen wie weit die Arbeit fortgeschritten und um dieses Projekt zu unterstützen. Vielen Dank für den tollen Vormittag.
Very friendly stuff and organised trip, we really enjoyed feeding washing,watching and walking with elephants and share their routine. The elephants look happy which is the main thing!
Sehr schöne Anlage. Die Elefanten können in einem natürlichem Umfeld ihr Lebensabend verbringen.
Such a beautiful experience meeting the elephants, feeding them and shower them :) everything was very organized, the whole environment so clean the personnel so kind.
The only issue was the car that transport us to the elephant home and back to hotel, was an open taxi not a safe option as well not comfortable at all, no a/c, in total we were 10 people in the car.
The driver was very attentive and carefully driving the taxi.
Overall a must do tour you will enjoy it be around elephants and such an amazing tropical trees and flowers. But ask for the transportation to make sure that you will get a van.
We were picked up from the hotel. The pre organization and the organization at the elephant home was perfect. A yummy lunch, hats, water, showers . They thought of everething ! The Elephants seemed very very happy to be there. The staff seemed very lovely to them . It was an unbeliavable unforgetable trip and every penny worth!
