Elephant Day Care

Join us for an immersive experience caring for our pregnant mothers and young elephants. Under the guidance of our expert team, you'll learn how to approach, feed, and guide your elephant to a nearby river for bathing and brushing — a daily routine that supports healthy skin care and strengthens the bond between elephants and their caretakers.

For the safety and well-being of our mothers and their calves, the Elephant Daycare & Baby Elephant for a Day package does not include bareback riding. Instead, you'll enjoy meaningful interactions and activities that prioritize the elephants' welfare.

Take your elephant for a leisurely walk along the lush Trail of 100 River Crossings. We emphasize daily exercise, natural grazing in the mountains, and access to fresh water to support the health and well-being of our elephants.

At the waterfall, relax and watch your elephant rest and feed while we prepare your lunch. Afterwards, stroll alongside your elephant as we return to Patara Elephant Conservation, completing a truly rewarding day.
