Spend A Day With An Elephant
4 h
About this activity
Itinerary
Arrive at Habarana junction at 8.30 a.m. and meet the SLDT representative. After the welcome and safety briefing, you will be met with elephants and each of their mahouts/handlers.
You can take some time to interact with your own elephant and get to know its personality.
Then we take your friend to the “spa” – a river. Help your mahout scrub and clean your elephant in the river. Elephant Energy offers you the unique opportunity to spend time with your own personal elephant and its mahout/handler. You will get up close and personal with your elephant as he bathes happily in the river, and you get the chance to help the mahout in scrubbing and rubbing the elephant’s wrinkly skin and ever-curious trunk. Delight in feeding your new ‘gentle giant’ friend as he devours the fruits and their favorite leaves you offer. This is an unforgettable experience with plenty of one-on-one time with what has to be, one of the most incredible creatures to inhabit Sri Lanka’s shores. After pampering the elephants, you will say goodbye to your new-found friends – your own personal elephant and mahout – and you will be directed to have your traditional Sri Lankan lunch in a village house.
Stop At:
• Habarana Lake, Habarana Sri Lanka
