Creating trust through individuality.<\/h3>\n
Experiencing elephants in Asia means getting close to the animals with care and getting a lasting impression of what it means to be out and about with the pachyderms. The 3-day elephant up-close tour is ideal for gaining a wonderful insight into the adventure of elephant riding.<\/p>\n
On all booked days you will travel to our elephant camp and spend a lot of time with the animals. You enjoy unique moments on the gentle giants – and are surrounded by the breathtaking mountain scenery of northern Thailand.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Day 1<\/strong><\/p>\n
We will pick you up from your hotel in Chiang Mai.
(IMPORTANT: Pick-up between 8.15 and 8.45 a.m.)<\/strong>
You will reach the village of Mae Sapok, about 60 km away, where your accommodation will be located for the duration of your stay. We will introduce you to the day’s schedule over breakfast coffee or tea. You then drive to our elephant camp just a few minutes away. Information about elephants<\/strong> in general and about the tradition of elephant husbandry in Asia is presented here. You will get to know our animals, we will introduce you to the characters and the history of each individual elephant<\/strong> to give you a picture of our heart project.<\/p>\nYou will now also get to know your “own” elephant<\/strong> for the duration of your stay and will be gently introduced to it. As you mount, you will then also take a seat on the neck of your elephant. After lunch, take your elephants to the nearby river<\/strong> and enjoy a long swim with the animals<\/strong>. <\/p>\n
While the elephants enjoy their evening off, you will get to know the village of Mae Sapok. Most of the inhabitants here are people from the Karen hill tribe<\/strong>. We introduce you to the Karen way of life<\/strong> with impressive excursions and in-depth background knowledge. After a relaxing shower in your accommodation, you can enjoy a multi-course dinner typical of the region.<\/p>\n
Day 2
After breakfast, you will drive to the elephant camp together with your trainer. From there you head into the surrounding forests, where you pick up the elephants from their nightly sleeping places<\/strong>. You now ride the animals back to the elephant camp and become increasingly confident in handling the pachyderms thanks to the experience you gained the day before.<\/p>\nYou will have lunch at the camp and watch the animals at their relaxed lunch time. We then ride along another beautiful path through the adjacent forest<\/strong>. You will now visit a local government development project that, like us, is committed to building sustainable community structures in the area for the future of elephants. There is also the opportunity to visit a beautiful waterfall<\/strong> here.<\/p>\n
Day 3
You enjoy your breakfast and then drive to the elephant camp, where you start a very extensive ride<\/strong> with your elephants through the surrounding mountains<\/strong>. Along the way, you can enjoy the view of nearby rice fields, the home villages of the elephant guides and the course of the local mountain streams.<\/p>\nAfter lunch you will have the opportunity to enjoy a <\/span>unique memento<\/b> <\/span>to keep special memories of your stay at Elephant Special Tours. A T-shirt provided by us will be printed with the elephant’s footprint together with you. You will then accompany our elephant calves and their mothers on their afternoon walk and experience their playful, loving moments up close as they explore their environment. <\/p>\n
This rounds off the impressive elephant experience in a pleasant and relaxed way. Before your departure, you can take a relaxing shower before returning to Chiang Mai, where you will hopefully be able to reflect on the great impressions you have gained. You will arrive in the city at around 5.30 pm.<\/p>\n
