How this holiday makes a difference

The Elephant Nature Park was founded by local resident, Sangduen Chailert (LEK) around ten years ago. Having had an elephant in the family Lek was always fond of these gentle giants and decided to make it her mission to help as many as she could after the logging ban in 1989. The park not only looks after the elephants but also employs and trains their original mahouts (trainers). Through your volunteering efforts and donations to the park, Lek is able to rescue more and more elephants and employ their trainers.

Playing pick up stones with the children in the Berber village. Despite having no common language we managed to communicate and enjoy each others company with equal measures of curiosity on both sides.

2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?


Be prepared for all weather conditions.

3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, and minimized impacts on the environment?


I felt very much the holiday benefited local people through tips and through the fact that we were staying in their homes.
