Tips

You won’t be interacting directly with the elephants, so bring binoculars or a good camera zoom lens for an even better view from the walkway.
Wear comfortable closed-toe shoes. The walkway is safe and well-maintained, but you’ll be in a jungle environment where the path to reach it can be a bit muddy or uneven.
The sanctuary provides water, coffee, and light snacks throughout the tour. Bringing a reusable water bottle is a good idea to stay hydrated and help reduce plastic waste.
This tour is great for all ages and requires minimal physical effort, but be prepared for humid conditions – a hat and insect repellent will make your walk more comfortable.
Every visitor’s fee goes toward the care of the elephants. If you’re moved by the experience, consider buying a souvenir or making a small donation on-site to support their ongoing care.

Summary

Walk the canopy walkway and see rescued elephants as they roam, forage, bathe, and socialize in the jungle below.
