Elephant Nature Park, located just over an hour from the city of Chiang Mai, is a unique place where visitors can interact with elephants rescued from the tourism and logging industries. Since the 1990’s Elephant Nature Park (ENP) has provided a sanctuary and rescue center for elephants. ENP has approximately 60 elephants in their care, along with rescued water buffalo, dogs and cats (who are up for adoption!).
The day begins with a special treat of watermelon which we got to feed one elephant, by hand Shanna feeding melon to a new friend (Laura Cahill)
After that it is out onto the grounds of the park to see how the elephants interact with each other and get to play and just be elephants. Walking the grounds at the Elephant Nature Park (Laura Cahill) Walking the grounds at the Elephant Nature Park (Laura Cahill)
After lunch, it's bath time! We head into the river and soak our elephant down to keep her skin fresh and clean. Bath time at the Elephant Nature Park (Laura Cahill)
But sometimes they just want to roll around on their own! Bath time at the Elephant Nature Park (Laura Cahill)
Then to the viewing platform for a different view, before we head out again to explore more of the grounds. View from above at the Elephant Nature Park (Laura Cahill) Elephant Nature Park snuggles (Laura Cahill) Elephant Nature Park mud pit (Laura Cahill)

Our advisor at Adventure Life, Mary Curry, was knowledgable and quick to respond with answers to any questions we had. She made our booking efficiently and set up a time for us to make a secure payment through her directly. We’ve used Adventure Life repeatedly and would definitely recommend it.

I selected Adventure Travel as I was not satisfied with the responsiveness of the agent for the cruise I was trying to book and it had good recommendations. So far, I am quite happy with my agent, Betty, very responsive and accommodating.
