This journey has provided us with invaluable experience and knowledge about these magnificent creatures.

With our experience at Chiangmai Elephant Care, we understand the physical, emotional, and social needs of elephants. By studying their behavior and instincts, we create environments where they can thrive.

Fabulous experience carried out by incredibly friendly and personal team. A mesmerising day’s activity.
We had the amazingly friendly and chatty Sem (fluent in English) pick us up from where we were staying and take us to the elephant jungle for an unparalleled hands on, personal, and immersive tour. We fed and wandered around with the elephants and it was simply phenomenal.
Following this we had a delicious meal including fruit we had spied in the jungle and the rice grown from the very paddies we were sitting by.
After lunch we then went rafting which was terrific fun. It struck the perfect blend between safe and thrilling. Finally we experienced the Mae Kong waterfall which was our first in Chiangmai area (and I imagine may well be our best).
If you’re looking for a fun interactive, friendly, hands on and personal experience these are your guys - highlight of our trip!!!
Perfect day
5 star absolutely. We were with Sem who speaks great English and was very helpful and fun all day.😀
Excellent trip, beautiful location, well looked after elephants
We had such a lovely time with Chiang Mai elephant care! Our guide was very helpful and knowledgeable on everything to do with the elephants.
We loved our time at the sanctuary, the elephants look well cared for, with lots of room to roam around the jungle.
The transport was modern, clean and air conditioned. They were very punctual in picking us up from our accomodation!
I’d have no hesitation in recommending this tour to a friend or family member!

Excellent experience with Chiangmai Elephant Care
It's located in the beautiful greenery mountain and it's a very good place for elephants to roam around their habitat.
Una delle esperienze più straordinarie della mia vita! L’Elephant Care Home è un luogo unico, dove gli elefanti sono trattati con amore, rispetto e cura autentica. Il personale è altamente preparato e appassionato, sempre disponibile a condividere informazioni preziose sugli elefanti e il loro habitat. L’atmosfera è serena e immersa nella natura, perfetta per chi vuole vivere un’esperienza autentica e sostenibile. Gli elefanti sono meravigliosi e vederli liberi e felici è semplicemente emozionante. Un posto che consiglio senza esitazioni a chiunque ami gli animali e voglia supportare una causa importante. 5 stelle meritatissime!
Thong Cruise and the shuttle driver were very nice. Thong explained the whole history of the region, his tribe and the relationship between people and elephants in details. The food was fantastic, the hands on experience with the elephants were very good and seeing a baby elephant was the best experience.
A great visit. Spent time with elephants feeding and observing including 5 month old which was an absolute delight they are obviously very well cared for . Learnt a lot including how to make elephant medicine. Our guide Thong was very informative and easy to spend time with. The day finished with an amazing pad Thai. Would highly recommend.
Really great experience. Friendly and knowledgeable tour guide, peaceful area and great to see the elephants being well looked after. Would absolutely recommend this tour to everyone! Thank you!
Experiencia maravillosa siempre cuidando por el bienestar de los elefantes. Nos ha encantado y repetiríamos sin duda. Nuestro guía Ford fue muy simpático y atento.
Amazing place. We had a private tour with Ford and he is so well prepared on everything about the elephants' wellness. the place is wonderful, not far from chiang mai. and the 5 elephants that live there are well cared for and are visibly happy. thanks for the incredible experience.
We had a private tour with Ford and it was everything just amazing. He is super prepared and answered to all our questions and teach us many things about elephants. We had the honour to stay close by these magnificent creatures and spend time feeding them with food and herbal medicine. Out of the touristic map this Sanctuary respects the animals and the environment. A wonderful and unforgettable experience. And also the food was super!
We had the most amazing time at the Chiangmai Elephant Care. Our guide, Todd, ensured we had a fantastic experience, and patiently answered all our questions. The elephants are well looked after and the baby elephant simply made our day. We highly recommend a visit.
It's really good sancutary to visit. The trip was wonderful. Staff was really kind, our guide responded to all questions. Everything was done with a great care to the elephants, no harm was done to them. You can see that Staff love them and take good care.
Très belle expérience, soyez rassuré les éléphants vont bien et ils sont bien traités. Les enfants vont adorer. Fold, le guide, respecte ces animaux et répondra à toutes vos questions. Les éléphants sont en liberté et ne sont pas enchaînés. Nous avons eu l'occasion de nous occuper de 3 éléphants et un éléphanteau. L'éléphanteau jouait avec nous,...vraiment J'en garderai un excellent souvenir .
Ford is a very very very experienced guide. All you like to know he will explain very briefly. Also the experience with the elephants is undiscrypable. You need to experiance yourselve.
Ein sehr idyllischer Ort, an dem die vier Elefanten sehr gepflegt werden. Der Guide Ford war sehr nett und hat alles sehr gut erklärt. die Tiere werden hier sehr gut behandelt. Zwei der Elefanten sind aus dem Zirkus oder aus dem Zoo hier hingekommen und haben hier nun ein schönes Leben.
Amazing experience. The people were friendly, elephants were interactive when they wanted to be and the food was tasty.
Beautiful Sanctuary for the Elephants. They‘re really taking care of the animals and don’t stress them. Great experience and majestic animals. Food was also good and the tour guide (Thong) explained everything in good English. Would recommend the place!
What a great place, loved the experience! An actual ethical experience! Help feed and hang around these amazing elephants and caretakers.
Very informative and they look after the elefants very well. Guide very knowledgeable. Will recommend it.
Die Erfahrung mit den Elefanten war phantastisch. Der Guide war auch sehr gut. Aber man sollte dort auf keinen Fall etwas essen! Mich hat es voll erwischt und andere aus meinem Hotel auch. Man sollte dort kein Essen anbieten!
A very pleasant and wonderful experience! This is a fantastic elephant sanctuary that truly cares for their elephants and is incredibly knowledgeable about their care and conservation. Our guide, Ford, was amazing—highly recommend him! He was so knowledgeable, and we learned so much about these beautiful animals. Truly a must-visit!
I had the best experience at Chiangmai elephant care! Ford was the best tour guide and taught us a lot about the beautiful elephants they rescued. If you’re looking for an ethical sanctuary, I highly recommend this one!
