This was one of the best experiences we’ve ever had - can’t stop talking about it. We loved the elephant trek and were enthralled by these wonderful gentle creature but the trip was so much more than that.
Our two days were packed with carefully thought out experiences highlighting real life in a Karen village which delight the visitor and provide real benefits to the local people.
The staff, interns and villagers are all equally friendly and caring.
It was worth every penny spent and every mile travelled to get there.

Het was een super ervaring! Even terug naar de basics. Gezellig koken met jouw gastgezin en nadien manden maken met een andere local. Je steunt de community. Hun organisatie zit zo goed ineen. De olifanten waren zo mooi om te zien! Zeker een aanrader! Niet twijfelen!
