The Location was amazing. We had elephants walk up to the handrail and we ended up feeding them.
9 / 10Outstanding·Sep 2026
The location was very good. I can see the elephants from up close so many times when they bathing. So it was a nice and happy feeling.
6 / 10Average·Aug 2026
The location was really good and the staff were so very welcoming and helpful. The vibe of the place felt homely.
The physical building needs lots of attention. Unfinished work of the interior was very visible.
