Full-Day Tour with Noelle and her mum - Ratanakiri - Airavata Elephant Foundation

A short trip towards the South of Banlung through fields and rubber plantations. half road, half dirt track. Arrival at the Aïravata site at 9 am. Presentation of Aïravata, of the place, and our philosophy. Preparation of the milk bottles and Noëlle’s bath. We leave for the enclosure, greet mother and daughter and give treats to the mother while listening to the story of Ikeo and her unlikely pregnancy. We take Ikeo to the training area, hose her, brush her nails with shampoo, and do a health check bath: we wash her with shampoo and check her weight while giving her the bottle to get on the scale. All this done, we take mother and daughter into the forest, walking to the place where they will spend the day together. It is elephant school for Noëlle as by observing her mother and mimicking her, she learns what plants to eat or not to eat. We return and eventually observe the training of the other elephants (power washing, etc). Lunch and rest until 2 pm. Elephant ride to the Katieng waterfall. Back to the camp to wait for Ikeo and Noelle, we check Noelle’s weight while giving her milk and we give treats to the mother.
