Elephant Feeding

Prepare nutritious meals and hand-feed our rescued elephants, learning about their unique dietary needs and habits.

Food Making & Mud Spa

Program B only

Roll the elephants’ supplement balls with our guide, then watch from the bank as they take their daily bath and mud spa — and meet them up close as they come out of the water.

Walk with Elephants

Take a serene walk alongside these magnificent creatures through lush jungle trails, observing them forage naturally.

Program B only

You make their food, not a souvenir.

Most elephant experiences send you home with something you made for yourself. Here you make something for Somboon and Nong Lek. Working with our keepers, you roll their supplement balls by hand — banana, rice, rice bran, pumpkin, tamarind and a little salt — and the herd eats them the same day.

1

Learn what goes in

Our keeper walks you through every ingredient and why each one matters in an elephant’s diet.

2

Mix and roll by hand

You make it yourself, outdoors, with the herd only a few steps away.

3

Give it to the elephants

It goes to Somboon and Nong Lek that same day — not into a gift bag.
