Amazing experience that I will remember forever. Seeing how they behave & being there to hear their calls & feel the vibration was incredible. Was glad to get so close to view their behavior without abusing the animals with activities such as riding & forced touching etc. Our guide Seth was great too. Telling us all the facts but also keeping it lively & making us laugh. Would recommend. Also take extra cash to buy some of their items to help the sanctuary too. Very cute bracelets, tshirts, bags etc

This is an amazing experience. Expensive ? Yes. But worth every darn penny. Skip the crappy Chinese made souvenirs, and put you money into places like this that support the local economy. I had read the crappy reviews of this place , and not once did I see any pinching or stick poking done to the elephants. We walked where they walked, we waited whilst they ate and cheered and laughed when the elephants, voluntarily, went into the water. This place is amazing, and what a great experience it was to get up close to these beautiful creatures.

What a wonderful afternoon we spent with these gentle giants. Helping to make food, feeding the elephants, walking with them through the forest, washing them with hoses at the end of the day. Such a privilege to be with them. Our guide Seth was knowledgeable, professional and fun to be with. He comes from the local area of the reserve and obviously cares deeply about the elephants. A wonderful place for them to grow old in.

This was a highlight of our trip! It was wonderful to interact with the elephants in a way that was safe for both the elephants and us. The caretakers are obviously passionate about protecting and caring for the elephants. The elephants are rescues from tourist attractions or logging camps and it is delightful that they are able to freely roam at this sanctuary. We made nutritious food balls for the elephants and then the elephants were invited to join us. The elephants who were interested came and we were able to feed them. We were able to walk with the elephants for a while and then observe as they received their daily care. As we walked with the elephants, we were able to scratch them behind the ears and they loved it! They would flap their ears and then lean into the scratches (again their participation in this was totally voluntary). We ended up fully splattered with mud, but we were delighted! Afterwards, we had a light vegetarian lunch at the sanctuary before driving back. The location on the Google maps is the main office where you meet for the departure to the sanctuary. We made our reservations at the office, but you can also make reservations using the Kulen Elephant Forest website rather than paying for a tour through a secondary site like Viator or Get Your Guide.

Today we had a magical experience - feeding and walking with a group of elephants in the foothills of the Kulen Forest. Our guide, Seth, showed us how to make sticky rice balls for the elephants and then took us to meet four of the most wonderful animals on earth. The sanctuary cares for 9 elephants, all retired from a hard life in the tourist or logging industries. Clearly the animals are living a good life here and have excellent care. Seth clearly loves his job and was extremely knowledgeable (with a flair for hilariously terrible jokes). This was a wonderful way to wrap up our journey through this magnificent country.

Amazing experience. The staff are wonderful and clearly love the elephants. The elephants are free to roam with no constrictions. We made food, feed and washed the elephants. A wonderful activity with lovely staff!

Amazing trip with an amazing guide. Both, the driver Sam Art and the guide Leap made a great work. They showed us great places with impressive views and created unforgettable memories. Thank you very much for giving us impressions of the Khmer culture and living in Cambodia. We only can recommend this trip to everybody.
