On my second day at Elephant’s World I had the special opportunity to swim with several of the elephants in the river- no tourists, just the mahouts (elephant caretakers).
Standing face to face with these giant, gentle creatures in the water was one of the most beautiful moments of my life. Elephants have such a powerful presence.
I spent most of my time swimming with Lam Duan, the blind elephant. She kept blowing water in my face.
