About COMBO: Chiang Mai Night Safari + Elephant Jungle Sanctuary

Your day begins with a visit to a responsible elephant sanctuary set in the lush countryside around Chiang Mai. Unlike traditional elephant camps, this sanctuary prioritizes the well-being of rescued elephants, offering visitors a chance to observe and interact with them in a respectful and natural way. You’ll prepare food, feed the elephants by hand, and learn about their history, behaviour, and conservation efforts.

One of the most memorable parts of the experience is walking alongside the elephants and joining them for a mud bath or river bath — a fun and authentic activity that also helps the animals cool down and stay healthy. The experience is designed to be educational, interactive, and deeply rewarding without any riding or harmful practices.

In the evening, head to the Chiang Mai Night Safari for a completely different kind of wildlife encounter. Board a guided tram that takes you through specially designed zones where animals are most active at night. From grazing herbivores to powerful predators, the safari offers close-up views in a safe and immersive setting. Book now to enjoy a full day of unforgettable wildlife experiences in Chiang Mai while saving up to 10%.
