Trabalhar com Elefante

Trabalhar com Elefante

This is a really fun project to get a chance to see and interact with elephants up close. The communication ahead of our arrival was all helpful/clear, and the train station pickup on arrival was really handy.
Our guesthouse was well located, clean, and the food was really tasty.
Working with the elephants we got the opportunity to get stuck in with feeding, washing, and mucking out, and the mahouts were all very supportive in guiding us and showing off the animals. They clearly know and care for them a lot.
The weekend’s tourist trips around Jaipur were really nice and as a lot of the sights were spread out it was comforting to have our own driver for the morning so we didn’t have to navigate finding our own transport.

It was an amazing and heart filling experience to be in contact with the enormous beautiful elephants, their committed caretakers and staying with the local family at Prity Guesthouse. I also enjoyed the tours with the Subhash and the tuktuk driver. Overall the guidance and communication was great and felt very safe at all times.
Taking care of the elephants is a very grateful job to be so close and connected to the elephants. We drank a lot of chai and had a lot of fun. They were very enthousiastic involving me and also connect me to the other animals.
The family is very caring and I felt very much at home. Also they took me places which was really nice to learn more about Indian and Jaipur life, including dancing at the Navatri festival! The food was super delicious too.
I even extended my stay!

The reason to decide volunteer with VWI is – Seemed like a great way to be exposed to families and experiences beyond the usual “tourist options”. Loved the idea of working with such wonderful animals. A unique opportunity! Would like to give 10 out 8 for my overall experience & satisfaction. This experience is absolutely like no other. If you want to experience all taste of the “real India this is the place to be. Your presence will be appreciated and give you experiences you will never forget. The host family was extremely gracious, friendly and helpful; room was okay; food was absolutely delicious. The project staff members are very friendly and tried their best to make us feel comfortable. Very attentive, professional & Friendly.

I wanted to work with elephants since I was 3 years old. Found VWI on internet and decided to give it a go. This program is very good to get interact into giving everyday care to the Elephants and their mahouts. The Host family were very friendly + welcoming felt like a guest not paying customer. Meals were tasty. The staff members are friendly and welcoming. Good English spoken. Definetly recommend to future volunteers.
