Make a difference by joining an ethical elephant feeding program in Koh Samui. At the Samui Elephant Home Nursery, you’ll learn about the dietary needs of both adult and baby elephants while preparing nutritious food tailored to their health. This hands-on experience is perfect for anyone who wants to connect with and care for these gentle giants.
Your journey begins with a hotel pickup and a scenic 30-45 minute drive to the open zone sanctuary. Upon arrival, a knowledgeable guide will welcome you, introduce you to the elephants, and explain the purpose of the feeding program. You’ll discover how essential nutrition supports elephant welfare and contributes to long-term conservation.
Next, you’ll prepare supplementary food using organic ingredients like bananas, pumpkin, sticky rice, and mineral-rich sea salt. Afterward, feed the elephants the meals you’ve created and enjoy taking adorable photos as you interact closely with them in a respectful and safe setting.
As the program concludes, say goodbye to your new elephant friends and leave with a sense of fulfillment, knowing your visit made a positive impact. You'll be transferred back to your hotel with meaningful memories and a deeper understanding of elephant care in Thailand.
