"Great visit to the elephant orphanage"
10 Feb 2019
"We went twice, once in the morning with the general public at the beginning of our holiday and once in the afternoon for a foster parent visit on our last day, and we’re glad we did so as it gave us a more rounded picture of the elephants. In some ways, the morning visit was more entertaining, despite being very much more crowded.
We loved seeing all the elephants, including the one we have fostered, and the tiny rhino, and the afternoon visit gave us the opportunity to talk to some of the keepers." Read more about this whole safari
