Being up close and hands on with the elephants was amazing. You dont realise how gentle and inquisitive they really are. Don’t be scared of them, embrace it, you’re never going to get a chance to be this close again...Absolutely amazing. Would definitely go and say hello if I’m visiting Thailand again. 
(more)The elephant human relations project in Namibia was absolutely outstanding. Definitely *****. I would recommend this project to anyone... All staff involved were passionate, knowledgeable, and motivated. (more)I really can’t think how to single out one particular part of this trip to label as the most memorable or exciting because, without meaning to sound too cheesy, it was all so memorable. The people I met were incredible, all the other volunteers and the locals. (more)The most memorable parts (sorry, I cannot limit it to one), were watching a leopard stalk and make a kill, seeing aardwolf and honey badger for the first time - this after countless safaris spanning over 40 years (!!) (more)Being with the elephants and their handlers. Having the big bull elephants walk past you, just inches from your face, leaving you to feel completely small and vulnerable as these pre-historic like mammals move by with grace, softness, power and majesty! (more)Most memorable part was being up close and personal with the elephants and sleeping in a bamboo hut at Elephant Nature Park with the sound of elephants, dogs, cats and insects for company! (more)We invite every traveller who books a holiday via us to send in a review. Because we don't run the holidays they're completely independent and unedited... remember to read between the lines though, as two people on the same holiday can have different views!
