Elephant Experiences

The resort's on-site elephant camp houses approximately 20 rescued elephants cared for by professional vets and individual mahouts.

The Jungle Bubble overnight experience includes dinner delivered to the dome while elephants roam and feed within view, offering direct wildlife interaction.
