This experience was truly something I'll never forget. There wasn't a single part of my stay I wasn't loving. Jack is hands down the most incredible host. He taught me so much about Elephants and the true reality of what it takes to care for these animals. As well, I learned about his life and culture(including learning some of the language he speaks). I honestly could go on and on about how incredible of a man and host Jack was. I would 100% recommend this to everyone that has the opportunity to do so. It's such a unique and immersive experience that I would do again in a heart beat!

The shelter Elephant Home is one of the most magical places on this Earth! Jack works 24/7, endlessly dedicating his life to conserving elephants in the wild. The connection I felt with nature is like nothing I’ve ever felt. The elephants are truly living in the wild, as it was meant to be. Jack is the most incredible host, making sure we always have our stomachs filled, being comfortable, and having a perfect time. Jack was so happy to show us the life of Kao and Sai Thong and how he takes care of them. This trip changed my perspective as I learned about local customs and the culture. Book it!

Exceeded my expectations. Hope to go back one day. The elephants, Kao and Sai Thong, are sweeties and the host Jack is very kind, welcoming and fun. The facilities are great and the home-cooked meals makes the experience 10 times better.

The hosts were super accommodating, respected everyone, and everyone's dietary restrictions. The experience with the elephants was amazing; being connected to nature every day was amazing as well, and the food was great. Yes, showers are cold. 100% recommend to others. Must be okay with being in nature and dealing with nature (mud, insects, etc).
