In January 2010, Mum and Dad took my sister and I back to Bali after 14 years. We had 8 nights at Segara Village in Sanur and Mum decided to take us to the Taro Elephant Park after visiting with Dad the previous year. Mum organised this so there's not much I can tell you about the package but it included hotel pick up and drop off, an elephant ride, a viewing of the elephant show and lunch. It was a great day. Owned by an Australian guy, the elephant park is very well maintained and the elephants are well cared for. There is lots of space for them to roam around and a lake/bath for them to enjoy. Being able to get so up close and personal with the elephants, both babies and fully grown ones, was incredible. Feeding them, patting them, sitting on their massive knees for a photo, having them place a ring of flowers over your head and give you a huge, elephant grin was truly an unreal experience.
Anna's Note: Just after this photo was taken, one of the baby elephants proceeded to hit me with its trunk when it realised I didn't have any more food for it.
