Itinerary

2 Days & 1 Night Jungle Safari

Day 1 Overnight - Elephant Hills camp: Includes Lunch & Dinner
The journey begins after you have been picked up from you departure location. Travel through southern Thailand to Elephant Hills camp. Arriving around midday, relax as you enjoy a Thai buffet lunch. This afternoon you are treated to a relaxing canoe journey on the Sok River. Surrounded by the walls of the cliffs laced with tropical foliage and the limestone mountains, keep an eye out for reptiles basking on the river banks and of hornbill birds flying above. Meandering downstream, witness some of the last remaining areas of the primary rainforest where little has changed over time.

After your relaxing canoe excursion, visit the Elephant Sanctuary. This truly amazing experience provides you with the opportunity to see, touch, prepare a daily meal and feed the elephants. As Asia's largest land animal, learn and interact with their mahouts (elephant caretakers) all whilst gaining an insight into the conservation project.

Head back to your luxury tent to relax before enjoying the evening activities. The Jungle Explorers Club Bar serves a selection of wines, cocktails and beers (at own expense).

As you dine in this unique location enjoy the sounds and atmosphere of the rainforest.

Day 2 : Includes Breakfast & Lunch
After a relaxing night rest, awake to the sounds of the rainforest and take time out to watch the sun rising as the mist clears over the mountain. Breakfast is available at your leisure.

The tour then makes its way into the rainforest to explore the beauty of one of the world's oldest habitats. There is an amazing variety of flora and fauna on display. Be quite, go slow, look and listen as the rainforest comes alive around you. Hornbills, gibbons, macaque can be seen as you trek through and discover the magic of the rainforest.
