Amazing, but be prepared to clean poop.
November 15, 2024by: Tyson Gordon - United StatesProgram: Elephant Volunteer Work & Animal Conservation in IndiaEveryone was super helpful, the program was so much fun. We went to some amazing places, and interacted with a lot of amazing animals. The elephants were probably the best part, you can pet them and just kinda chill with them, it's a surreal experience. Very much would recommend.
Thank you for the review.
memorable trip in India with VWI
June 24, 2024by: Yingli Yang - United StatesProgram: Elephant Volunteer Work & Animal Conservation in IndiaWe just had a memorable trip in India with VWI. Sukret is very responsive before and during the trip, which is extremely helpful. We didn't pick the best season to visit India, so it's pretty hot. But we didn't get any time spent in Inda wasted. The guides, drivers and the mahout for our giant girl 'Champa' are all very good. We spent decent time with the elephant and also did some sightseeing. Will make another trip during Nov. to Mar when the weather is better.
Thank you Yingli for the review.
Elephant program in Jaipur
May 29, 2024by: Juliet Awang - United KingdomProgram: Elephant Volunteer Work & Animal Conservation in IndiaWorking with elephants has always been a dream of mine, something I could never do in the UK. This opportunity has been very special for me. I am a solo female traveler, that means I need to ensure my safety. Sukrets contact with me from the very beginning was really helpful and put my mind at ease. Everyone has been really helpful to me and helped me to have an amazing experience in Jaipur. There is one person who has been absolutely wonderful to me, Pradeep. He has taken me wherever I have asked, he has guided me around many Jaipur attractions and my experience would not have been so special without his support. Thank you so much Pradeep!
