Kulen Elephant Forest

Most amazing experience, meeting the elephants, and feeding them the food we had prepared earlier. Our guide, Kia, was very knowledgeable, very engaging, and quite fun too. Also served us lunch which was plentiful and delicious. Seemed like a great project to support.

A brilliant morning spent with the elephants! Our guide was friendly and very informative. Watching these majestic animals in their natural environment was amazing! Feeding them was enjoyable. The meal served for lunch was delicious and there was plenty to share with our small group.

Unique experience! Very respectful for animal and visitors… highly recommend! After preparing snacks for the elephants you can feed them in a very safe way! During the walk you see the unique interaction between animals and care takers. Funny to see the animals bathe and to wash them afterwards. Very nice experience (family of 2 adults and 3 kids)

This facility is absolutely fantastic! The work they do with their ten rescued elephants is such a good example of conservation through education. The staff are so lovely and very knowledgeable about the animals they work with. Highly recommend if you want an ethical, up close experience with these gentle giants! 🐘

This sanctuary looks after the retired and rescued elephants superbly well. They have an enormous forest to freely walk around and are cared for by their mahouts where needed. Our guide was local and knew all about the elephants, the forest and natural habitat. We made food for the elephants (to supplement their natural diet) and fed them directly. We then watched and observed them for a couple of hours in their environment. Highly recommended activity.

It was a great experience to make food for elephants, feed them directly, walk with elephants, and learn more about the greatest creature on the earth. Our guide, Tom, was super nice. He speaks English well and is funny 🤣 I had the best experience in my life in Siem reap. I wanna come back to Cambodia just for my Chubby 🐘

I had an amazing experience at Kulen Elephant Forest. The staff was very welcoming and attentive, creating a close and personal connection with visitors. The guide was knowledgeable and engaging, making the whole visit even more enjoyable. Most importantly, the elephants are treated with respect and care, which made the experience truly special. Highly recommended!

My morning spent at Kulen Elephant Forest was an incredible and heartwarming experience. This sanctuary provides a safe and enriching retirement for the elephants. The experience was truly hands-on and engaging. We had the opportunity to prepare snacks for the elephants, which was a unique and rewarding way to connect with them. Feeding these gentle giants was a highlight, and their calm demeanor was truly touching. Walking alongside the elephants through the beautiful park, accompanied by a knowledgeable guide, was fascinating. The guide shared insightful information about elephants in Cambodia, their history, and the importance of their conservation. Being able to pet the elephants was an incredibly special moment. I was amazed to learn that they have hairs on their bodies, just like us! The hairs are the same color as their skin, making them difficult to see from a distance, but you can definitely see and feel them up close. The convenience of the tour was also a major plus. The shuttle service to and from Siem Reap is about 1 hour. The included local lunch was welcome. Kulen Elephant Forest offers a truly ethical and enriching way to interact with these amazing animals. It's a sanctuary that prioritizes the well-being of its elephants, and the experience they offer to visitors is both educational and deeply moving. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Siem Reap who wants an unforgettable elephant encounter.
