NOTE: We can try to accommodate special times and changes to the programs based on availability and the safety and comfort of our elephants. We want you to get to know our elephants and learn about them and their lifestyle, so we will try to accommodate your schedule as much as possible, so long as it doesn’t interfere with the comfort and safety of our Elephants, which is absolutely paramount at Thom’s Pai Elephant Camp.
