say an elephant never forgets, one thing for certain you will
never forget your elephant trek. There is no better way to enjoy
some of the most spectacular scenery Krabi Province has to offer
than from the back of one of these gentle giants. We have two
treks to offer you: a two hour and a half day trek. These treks
start at a time convenient to you that can be arranged at time
of booking. |
| About Krabi
nature elephant trekking and river camp. |
 We
are based at Baan Nai Sra just 20 minutes drive from Krabi and there
we invite you to climb aboard one of our five elephants. Then suddenly
you're high above the ground and heading into this amazing scenery
where the quiet will envelope you as you relax into the swaying
rhythm of the elephant's walk on a one or two hour trek (dependant
on 2 hour or half day safari). Our elephants are not working elephants,
they work only with tourists; some elephant trekking operations
abuse their animals by forcing the animals to trek with tourists
after a long day working in the forest, controlling the elephants
with fear and violence which can only lead to frustration and anger
in these otherwise gentle creatures. All our elephants are well
looked after, well fed and watered and above all respected, we hope
and believe they are happy; a happy elephant is a safe elephant.
After the trek we head to Sra Keaw Cave a huge overhanging cave
of multiple tiers each pillared with stalactites which we give you
time to explore at leisure, providing you with drinks and snacks.
Here you can also swim in the mineral water pool that emerges from
the cave and sample some of the local pineapples. It's a good idea
to feed the elephants, they won't forget the kindness, but it is
watching the dexterity of their trunks that is the real pleasure.
On the half day tour we give you a chance to see that dexterity
put to use as our elephants put on a working demonstration for you.
You will not believe just how clever and strong these animals can
be.
After we say goodbye to the
elephants we will show you one of the newer attractions in this
ancient landscape by taking you to some of the areas that featured
in the movie 'The Beach' starring Leonardo Di Caprio. After which
we will transfer you back to your Hotel. |
