Enjoy a scenic drive through the Chiang Mai countryside from your hotel to Ran-Tong Save & Rescue Elephant Centre.

Upon arrival, begin your Elephant School experience, where you will learn about the camp, these incredible animals, and the correct way to observe elephants respectfully and safely.

Learn how to prepare sugarcane for the elephants, including pregnant, injured, and elderly elephants. You will also discover how vitamin supplements are prepared to support their nutritional needs. During feeding time, observe the elephants enjoying their food in a peaceful, natural environment.

Continue with a guided observation walk, watching the elephants move freely, explore their surroundings, and graze on grass at their own pace.

Enjoy a delicious lunch at the elephant centre before learning more about elephant health and wellbeing. Discover the role of traditional herbal hot compresses, massage techniques, and sound therapy in elephant wellness through an educational session. Learn how mud and dust help protect elephants’ skin from sunlight and insects, and observe their natural behaviours, such as rolling in mud, whenever they choose to do so.

You will also learn how mahouts monitor elephant skin health and recognise signs that may require attention, such as wounds, abscesses, and parasites, while respecting the elephants’ personal space and natural routines.

Conclude your experience by saying goodbye to the elephants before returning to Chiang Mai.
