Safety
The above experiences are designed to fit humans around the daily natural routines of our elephant, rather than the other way round. Elephants are prone to having bad mood days, or may get nervous with weather or other conditions. Your safety, and the well-being of our elephant, is paramount. Our Elephant Manager will make a safety assessment before each experience. If there is a deemed increase in the risk to your safety, we retain the right to cancel such an experience, and either provides a different experience or a refund (if paid for in advance).
