WELCOME TO BALI ELEPHANT CAMP |
 |
Pass through unworldly beauty
- natural rice paddies, quaint Balinese villages, temples and
local markets - on the scenic drive to Bali Elephant Camp -
Elephant Riding and Adventure, located in the historic village
of Carangsari, birth place of Bali's national hero 'Ngurah Rai'
and only a short distance from the Sangeh monkey forest. Bali
Elephant Camp is situated between the rice paddies, jungle,
and Ayung River (where we also do white water rafting) and is
one of the most natural places in Bali...
Our elephants come from Sumatra, and as part of our efforts
to conserve this magnificent species, we'd like you to learn
more about them, go trekking and experience life with our incredible
elephants! By ridding our elephants you help us help other elephants
in Sumatra by providing funds for food and land to make sure
their homes remain protected.
After enjoying the drive be welcomed to Bali Elephant Camp with
a refreshing welcome drink at the 'Trunk' n 'Manhout' valley
- view cafe. Watch the elephants enjoy their morning or afternoon
bath and then meet our Head Manhout to learn about the daily
life of Sumatran elephant as the elephants get saddled-up for
the 'Explorer' or 'Adventure' treks. Want to see a big appetite?
Check out Elephant lunch time.
