    We stayed for 2 nights and both nights the elephants slept inside, so special to watch them. Both mornings we spend walking with the elephants and feeding them. You can see how good the staff is for the elephants.

    We liked that we were close to the elephants and were able to know more about their stories. We liked that we could watch them at night from our room. We liked the elephant encounter.

    Amazing experience from start to finish! Geoff looked after us. Being so close to the elephants at night was amazing in the boma lounge. The rooms were super comfortable, and the morning walk with the elephants was on another level!
