Our guide for the private tour was Bunhak . He was very knowledgeable about all elements of our day. Bunhak was able to answer every question we had. Simply excellent tour of Kulen elephant forest by ‘Seth’, an ethical home for retired elephants that were sadly previously used to work and carry tourists. It was extremely well organised and the Elephants were just spectacular! You get to feed them and walk with them in their natural environment, I could have watched them forever, it was a tour I will never forget. The lunch and environment provided was also great. The 2nd bit to Tonle Sap lake

Really enjoyed our time at the Elephant forest. We got to make food for them, feed them, walk with them and watch them enjoying the jungle. We also saw lots of other wildlife including Tarantulas! A yummy lunch followed. Our guide at the forest was very knowledgable about the elephants. It was nice to see them being so well looked after following a life of hard work before being brought to their home at Kulen. We also enjoyed visiting the floating village and learning about how the people there live.

It was incredible! The guide and driver were superb and the hour long journey went so fast as he was knowledgeable and gave us a lot of information on the city and country his English was impeccable! To get to the main point of going to see the elephants, was out of this world. We had the best time EVER! How it is organised, to how you meet the elephants is exceptional. I really don’t want to spoil the surprise of what exactly you do, but it really is well put together and have the peace of mind that they are sooooo well looked after in their retirement. It really is a must when visiting Siem
