The Elephant Camp
An elephant drive at sunrise. A dip in the river. Treks through bamboo groves and rice paddy and a glimpse of life in a Mahout’s village. The Elephant Camp at Anantara is designed along the lines of the traditional Mahout (elephant trainer) villages found in the hills of Northern Thailand in the days when logging employed the majority of Thailand’s elephants. Based on the professional mahout training course, run at the Thai Elephant Conservation Centre, this course, spread over three days, is designed to ensure you get to know your elephant and can perform the routine daily tasks of a Mahout. Learn to bathe, feed and care for an elephant. Pick up some elephant commands and explore the forests of Northern Thailand with your new friend.
