Working with the elephants was so rewarding. The work was hard but every minute was worth it.2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?
Take old clothes, you will get wet and dirty every day. Gloves are important! You'll work hard but it is worth it. If you go for more than one week, I suggest you have a go at both sides of the WFFT volunteer program - Wildlife and Elephants.3.
