Elephant Reserve

The trip to elephant reserve was definitely a highlight for our team. Chevron operates an Elephant Reserve on their property.  You can organize trips to this area and they will let you pet, feed and ride the elephants.  They have very experienced handlers.  In fact they took several of their elephants to Bali and trained handlers there on how to train and care for the elephants in order to use them at safari parks.

What is so great about this is you get to ride the elephants through the jungle pretty much as you would have 50 years or more ago.  This was an amazing experience for all of us.  This is a very unique opportunity that doesn't come along very often.  Everyone had a great time riding and feeding the elephants.
