Elephant Hills – Ethical Elephant Park, Thailand
Elephant Hills are Thailand’s first Luxury Tented Jungle Camps, combining the spirit of an African safari with the ancient rainforests of Khao Sok National Park, a wilderness older than the Amazon and one of the most biodiverse ecosystems on Earth. We offer 2 to 4-day soft adventure tours in and around this extraordinary natural environment, with beautifully appointed tented accommodation included throughout.
The Elephant Camp has welcomed guests for over 20 years and remains one of Thailand’s most loved family destinations. The Lake Camp, one of the world’s only luxury floating tented camps, opened in 2011 on the breathtaking emerald waters of Cheow Lan Lake.
Both camps sit within Khao Sok National Park in Southern Thailand, around two hours apart, and within easy reach of Phuket, Khao Lak, Krabi, and Koh Samui. All transfers are included in every tour package. For full details, see our Transfer Policy.
Every Elephant Hills tour is fully all-inclusive: luxury tented accommodation, all meals, activities, and the services of an English-speaking, TAT-licensed guide are all taken care of.
We do not offer elephant riding. Instead, our unique, award-winning Ethical Elephant Experience gives you a rare and meaningful connection with Asia’s largest land animal, always on their terms.
We are also proud to support our local community through the Elephant Hills Children’s Project.

Why Choose Elephant Hills?
Elephant Hills has been recognised as Southern Thailand’s leading sustainable soft-adventure tour operator. We believe responsible elephant welfare and genuine environmental care go hand in hand, and everything we do reflects that commitment.
We place great emphasis on recycling and resource conservation, and we work closely with the local community by hiring local staff and investing in education through our Elephant Hills Children’s Project.
The result is an experience that has earned multiple international awards and thousands of five-star guest reviews. We would love to welcome you to Elephant Hills and show you what sets us apart.
Elephant Welfare Is VERY Important
At Elephant Hills, our Asian elephants are at the heart of everything we do. During our Ethical Elephant Experience, you will have the opportunity to observe these magnificent animals in their natural habitat as they roam, play, and simply be elephants.
You will help our team prepare their daily feed, which the elephants then enjoy at their own pace at feeding stations within their free-roaming habitat. It is a quieter, more natural experience, and all the more special for it.
Elephant Hills has achieved a 100% rating for animal welfare from Global Spirit, Animals in Tourism auditing. We are the first animal attraction anywhere in the world to achieve this rating within the two-week audit period.
“It isn’t easy to achieve 100% of minimum requirements, especially within the two week audit period. They are not only the first elephant camp to achieve this rating but the first worldwide animal attraction to reach 100% within the two week audit period. Global Spirit has been impressed with Elephant Hills engagement in the whole process and their ongoing commitment to continue making positive improvements.”
