    The day ran smoothly, the staff there were really good and we got closer to the elephants than I thought we would. My son lived feeding and washing them.

Then, you'll help with feeding time as you respectfully bond with the animals on their terms.Walking by their sides as the elephants head to the river is a real pinch me moment, so make sure you have your camera at the ready.
