It doesnt take long to realise how unique each of our elephants are and their personalities will delight and touch your heart. You will learn all the basics of being a mahout, riding, feeding, watering and even bathing elephants in the river. Because of the diversity of activities you will be able to experience many unique facets of elephant life and culture. You will be issued a comprehensive handbook covering all manner of useful information. Topics include, caring for your elephant, riding techniques, elephant commands, elephant facts, history and culture. You will also receive a great Elephant team member t- shirt.
