Reviewed 6 September 2015 This is a must do at least once in your lifetime. We only stayed one night but it was so worth the expense. Where else can you stay that you share a room with the elephants and watch them sleep and listen to them snore.

The time included with the overnight stay is brilliant! It's a very small group of people that go out to see the elephant's before any other visitors come along. We got a to walk with the elephant's, have great info from the guides and loads of pictures/video as part of this. Spent nearly 2 hours out there with them, then went back to the lodge for the included breakfast. After a that we did the feeding, where you get to buy a bowel of fruit and feed them. Starts with a dvd give some history. Was good, but the morning interaction was much better better.
Recommend!

"stay-over experience & watch ellies about their nightly pranks & rituals" "Look for the rooms with view for the elephants." "Wi-fi is available in the restaurant only, but you are too busy observing elephants to need it in your room."
