Contacted via Whatsapp and got a very friendly, clear answer back. Booking was easy and they picked us up at the hotel, got extra info about jaipur on the way. The trip was soothing, which we could use after a busy day jaipur. The encounter with the elephant was very pleasant, were well guided and given plenty of time to make contact with the elephant. We were happy that no elephant rides are offered here but we could walk with the elephant. Everything was to your liking, also got including the price drink.VerifiedParadise515637529362024-08-30Great experience in Jaipur at Elefanjoy Elephant Sanctuary We were picked up from our hotel by Ankit. He then proceeded to let us know of all the wonderful activities we could experience in Jaipur. Once we got to the Sanctuary, we were greeted with chai and water before meeting Shobha, a beautiful 38 year old elephant. We had the pleasure to feed her sugar cane and bananas, decorate her with natural paint then take her for a walk before giving her a wash. It was a beautiful experience, I highly recommend visiting the sanctuary as the elephants seem to be taken care of very well and are happy in their environment. There are no elephant rides as to insure the well-being of these majestic animals.VerifiedJamie M2024-08-30Truly incredible experience with Elefanjoy We had a wonderful experience with Elefanjoy! It is a professionally run business who truly care for their elephants. Some of the the activities include a brief introduction followed by feeding, walking and bathing the elephants.

I have done other elephant experience in india, and this is be far the best I have done.Veer Sahu2024-07-19Best Elephant ride in jaipur and elephants looks happyGeetika Verma2024-07-18Copycats can start their companies with similar names, but this is the real Elefanjoy Elephant Sanctuary in Jaipur. We have visited this place more than five times, and each visit has been a memorable experience. We've also explored other companies, but honestly, Elefanjoy stands out as the best for many reasons. They treat you like a family member, not just a tourist, and the elephants are fit, healthy, and well-maintained. At Elefanjoy, the dedication to the welfare of the elephants is evident from the moment you arrive. Unlike other places, Elefanjoy offers a genuinely ethical and cruelty-free environment. The sanctuary's commitment to providing a safe and happy home for the elephants is remarkable, and you can see it in the elephants' demeanor. They are relaxed, playful, and obviously well cared for. During our visits, we have had the pleasure of engaging in various activities that allowed us to connect with these magnificent creatures on a deeper level. Feeding the elephants is always a delightful experience, as they gently take the food from your hand with their trunks. Walking with them is equally enchanting; you can feel their strength and grace as they move beside you. The highlight of every visit is the educational sessions where the knowledgeable staff share fascinating insights into the elephants' lives, behaviors, and the history of elephant conservation in India. Our favorite elephant, Mala, has become a dear friend to us over the years. Her gentle nature and playful antics always bring a smile to our faces. The staff at Elefanjoy are passionate about each elephant's well-being, and their dedication is truly inspiring. They go above and beyond to ensure that the elephants are treated with the utmost respect and love, which is why they look so fit and healthy. One of the most striking aspects of Elefanjoy is the authenticity and transparency of their operations. They provide detailed information about the elephants' care, diet, and daily routines, and they are always open to answering questions. This transparency is a refreshing change from other places we've visited, where the focus is often more on profit than the welfare of the animals. Elefanjoy also offers unique experiences that set them apart from the rest. Their Bhajan chanting sessions in the evening are a serene way to end the day, creating a spiritual connection between visitors and the elephants. The sanctuary also celebrates various Indian festivals like Diwali and Holi, integrating these cultural events into the visitors' experience. This not only enriches the visit but also provides a deeper understanding of India's cultural heritage. It's important to be cautious of imitation companies. Elefanjoy stands out as the real elephant sanctuary in Jaipur, committed to providing a humane and enriching experience for both the elephants and visitors. The copycat companies might mislead you with similar names, activities, and prices, but they cannot replicate the genuine care and dedication that Elefanjoy offers. In the end, visiting these imitation places often leads to regret, as they fall short of the ethical standards and memorable experiences that Elefanjoy provides. Elefanjoy is not just a place to visit; it’s a sanctuary where you build sweet, beautiful memories with the elephants. Each visit leaves us with a sense of fulfillment and joy, knowing that we have contributed to a place that truly cares for these magnificent creatures. If you visit Elefanjoy, you will undoubtedly have an unforgettable experience filled with learning, connection, and the pure joy of being close to these wonderful animals. In conclusion, Elefanjoy is the epitome of ethical elephant tourism in Jaipur. Their commitment to the welfare of the elephants, coupled with the warm, family-like atmosphere they create for their visitors, makes them the best choice for an elephant experience in India. We highly recommend avoiding the copycats and choosing Elefanjoy for an experience that you will cherish forever.Chanchal Saini2024-07-18I recently visited the stunning Elefanjoy Elephant Sanctuary in Jaipur, and I cannot recommend it highly enough. If you're looking for an ethical and enjoyable elephant experience in Jaipur, this is the place to go. They offer transparent pricing with no hidden fees, no waiting times, and, most importantly, no animal cruelty. The elephants here are happy and healthy, making it a truly wonderful and responsible experience. This is undoubtedly one of the top things to do in Jaipur!Kedia Sales2024-07-18While researching online, we came across numerous elephant experiences, but many turned out to be disappointing. Fortunately, we discovered Elefanjoy, and it exceeded all our expectations. Initially, we were keen on an elephant ride in Jaipur, but the team at Elefanjoy educated us on ethical elephant experiences. We are incredibly thankful to them for providing the best and most responsible elephant experience in Jaipur. Highly recommended...!Khushi Jangid2024-07-18We recently had an incredible elephant experience with Shobha at Elefanjoy. Our visit allowed us to feed her, walk alongside her, and even wash her. This was a simple yet profoundly beautiful experience. Shobha looked genuinely happy and content, enjoying her time with us. Watching her shower herself with water from her trunk was delightful—she clearly loves it! It was heartwarming to see her playfully spray water on herself, showcasing her joy and well-being. Elefanjoy is truly a haven for elephants, providing them with a happy and healthy environment. This experience is a must-do for anyone visiting Jaipur.Shivang Dhawan2024-06-29The elephant century was unbelievable i enjoyed there alot the experience there of activities with elephant was unreal and we loved to do painting on elephant
