Please wear clothes and trainers/closed toe shoes that you don't mind getting a little wet! We provide umbrellas and guarantee a fabulous day out with the elephants!

Can we bring children and toddlers?Yes of course! We cater for all ages. We feel it's very important for children to learn about elephants and to spend time in nature and we offer a great program for them. Our tours are relaxed and at any time if you wish to return to the reception or go straight to our Hidden Forest Restaurant, we will arrange our 4x4 vehicle to pick you up and our staff will take care of you. We have a lot of tree cover in our forest but we also have umbrellas as shade from the sun as well as the rain. At our restaurant we also have crayons for children to colour an elephant painting to keep them occupied at lunch!
