Description
A true ethical elephant sanctuary in southern Phuket, home to four rescued elephants. They roam freely, socialize, and play naturally in our Hidden Forest reserve's ponds, streams, and muddy wallows.
Welcome to Hidden Forest Elephant Reserve. We are a genuine ethical elephant sanctuary co-founded by elephant specialists Mr Kong and Louise Rogerson.
Our breathtaking elephant sanctuary is nestled in the hills of southern Phuket and is home to four beautiful female elephants who are all rescued from the tourism riding industry. They are now able to roam freely, socialise with each other, and play naturally in the ponds, streams and muddy wallows throughout our land.
After an introduction video, you will meet and feed our elephants before going on a scenic walk through the forest, stopping at our Bamboo Observation Huts dotted along the way where you can sit quietly as our elephants go about their day. We don't follow a set route, our elephants are free to roam and forage, and if our elephants stop, we stop! They have had hard lives and they deserve the very best life we can give them. When we reach the pond, watch the elephants frolic, splash, and cover themselves in mud as you enjoy a delicious vegetarian meal freshly cooked and from local ingredients.
Step into our world, a true paradise forest home for elephants, and also a safe haven for an abundance of wild birds with daily sightings of eagles soaring the skies, egrets swooping to the pond, and butterflies and dragonflies dancing in the breeze.
