Itinerary
TOUR DESCRIPTION
Setting foot at the Mekong Elephant Park: After crossing the mighty Mekong, your guide will begin by
introducing the team, the sanctuary, its mission and initiatives towards animal welfare. Visitors will also be given
an in- depth presentation of our elephants, explain their very own story, their family ties without forgetting to
hear about the special bonds they all individually share with their mahout.
Meeting the elephants: Enter the pure primary forest and meet the elephants in their natural habitat. At the
Mekong Elephant Park, we do not allow physical interactions between visitors and the elephants. We
encourage passive observation as believe we are the invitees to their world, their environment and wish to just
let them be.
Jungle Trekking: Follow your guide through the natural trails left by the elephants and hear about pedagogical
and educational tips. Admire how the herd is happy to gather, how they interact and feed on their natural
food.
Elephant Bath: Experience a pure moment of fun as elephants toss and roll around in the water. And please
don’t be disappointed if they decide not to take a dip…again we leave it up to them if they feel they need to
cool off or not.
Lunch: Enjoy a full Lao Set Menu at the Mekong Elephant Park restaurant. All ingredients are mainly sourced
from our botanical garden (special vegetarian, vegan or any dietary menus may be prepared with prior
notice)
Farewells: After lunch, visitors will say their goodbyes and be transferred by boat back to Pakbeng.
Note: Timings and Activities may vary depending on the weather conditions, or any special needs the
elephants or the mahouts could require.
