Elefantastic, an elephant sanctuary in Jaipur, is a haven of love, not a tourist destination. One of the most prestigious private ethical elephant sanctuaries in India is situated close to Jaipur's Amber Fort. Elephants are not overworked, tethered, or made to perform here. Rather, they receive the same love, tolerance, and careful attention as if they were family. Thousands of tourists from all over the world come here and depart with unforgettable emotional connections and loving recollections. However, some evaluations try to present a very different, and regrettably untrue, picture.
98% of visitors are satisfied when they depart. Why Draw Attention to the 2%? We at Elefantastic are pleased to report that between 98 and 99 percent of our visitors depart happy, laughing, and frequently crying. They are aware of our purpose. They witness the freedom of our elephants. They feel the natural emotional bond that arises in a polite, quiet environment.
However, we also encounter the infrequent 1% to 2% of persons who either: Arrive with inflated expectations; Attempt to compel reservations into unavailably available slots; or Post deceptive or manipulative evaluations in hopes of receiving refunds after we politely decline. For individuals that genuinely wish to comprehend Elefantastic, this site is for clarity, openness, and honesty.
Elefantastic's prices are set in stone. We don't undercut or overcharge. Our earnings are used specifically for: Elephant nutrition and daily feeding, Mahout salary to sustain their families, Supplementary medical care, facility maintenance (clean shelter, clean water, power, etc.).
Every rupee a visitor spends goes toward supporting the welfare of the elephants and the people who look after them. We are not a for-profit entertainment establishment. There are no forced performances, no circus acts, and no parties. This is a sacred area where people can form loving bonds with elephants rather than using them for commercial purposes.
Some guests are not ready to hear a polite "No."
For example:
And regrettably, some people take offense by penning critical, deceptive reviews like "The owner was rude."
We're only human. Every week, we speak with hundreds of individuals from a wide range of backgrounds, dialects, and personalities. We always make an effort to stay warm, but sometimes when we sense that our elephants' safety or respect is in jeopardy, we become emotional.
Elephants are our heart, and we never forget that visitors are a blessing. Every visitor to Elefantastic should experience connection, love, and tranquility. However, we also safeguard our crew, our animals, and our refuge. We reiterate: if you come with love, you'll discover something very remarkable.
