To be so close to these wonderful animals
February 15, 2025by: Hana KakosováProgram: Thailand - Elephant Forest RefugeOne of my favorites moments must definitely be the elaphants walks and showers we got to do almost everyday. It was just amazing to be so close to these wonderful animals and we always had so much fun doing it.
Was a truly wonderful, life enhancing experience
January 16, 2025by: Gill WrightProgram: Thailand - Elephant Forest RefugeWorking to give abused and traumatized elephants the best love, care, nourishment I could offer and working alongside a dedicated team of volunteers of all ages and backgrounds was a truly wonderful, life enhancing experience, which will be in my heart and head forever. What a way to celebrate my 80th birthday! Thank you, GoEco!
Great experience!
February 04, 2020by: Jaime NievesProgram: Thailand - Elephant Forest RefugeGreat experience! I would recommend this trip to everyone! It really is a trip of a lifetime! The most memorable experiences were just being able to learn so many tasks to help the elephants, and to be able to be a part of the sanctuary family!
