A private, luxurious, full-length journey into elephants, culture, cuisine & nature.
The Grand Immersion Experience is EleSafari’s most exclusive and in-depth offering, curated for travellers seeking a slower, richer, and more meaningful connection with elephants, nature, and Rajasthan’s living traditions. This extended private program blends wildlife, culture, cuisine, art, and conservation into an unforgettable day.
Royal Welcome & Cultural Briefing
Your experience begins with a traditional Rajasthani welcome and a refreshing drink, followed by a detailed orientation about EleSafari, our rescued elephants, and the centuries-old Mahout legacy. This introduction provides a deep understanding of the bond shared between elephants and their caretakers.
Exclusive Elephant Introduction & Behaviour Session
Meet the elephants in a calm, intimate setting. Learn about their personalities, behavioural patterns, healing journeys, and daily routines. This private moment sets the tone for a compassionate and respectful interaction.
Extended Feeding & Wellness Ritual
Take part in preparing and offering nutritious treats. Understand diet planning, seasonal preferences, and how food affects their wellbeing. Spend unhurried time feeding the elephants and experiencing their quiet trust up close.
Traditional Chemical-Free Elephant Painting
Engage in a detailed, artistic painting session using 100% natural, chemical-free colours. Learn about the origins, motifs, and symbolism behind Rajasthan’s ancient elephant decoration tradition, creating designs that are simple, elegant, and respectful.
Seasonal Bathing & Washing Ritual
When weather permits, enjoy an extended bathing ritual—scrubbing, cooling, and helping the elephants unwind in the water. (Bathing remains closed during winter for the elephants’ comfort.)
Guided Elephant Walk Through Nature Trails
Take a longer, serene walk with the elephants through forest-edge pathways. Observe foraging habits, social cues, and natural behaviour in a peaceful, undisturbed setting that feels both grounding and luxurious.
Bird Watching Along the Sanctuary Edges
Accompanied by a naturalist, enjoy a dedicated bird-watching session along the sanctuary’s quiet trails. Spot local and migratory species, learn about their calls, habitats, and significance to the ecosystem—a soothing, nature-rich experience.
Elephant Enrichment Creation Activity
Help design small enrichment elements such as food puzzles or natural toys that stimulate elephants mentally and physically. Learn how enrichment supports rehabilitation and lifelong wellbeing.
Traditional Mahout Family Food Tasting
Experience a curated tasting station featuring traditional dishes lovingly prepared by the Mahout family. Enjoy Rajasthani flavours made with home-style authenticity, celebrating the culture that surrounds elephant care.
Tea & Mahout Storytelling Session
Over hot masala tea, sit with Mahout elders as they share stories passed down through generations—tales of their bond with elephants, their journeys, rituals, challenges, and the legacy they carry. This intimate session becomes one of the most treasured parts of the entire experience.
Photography Moments & Relaxation Lounges
Throughout the day, enjoy shaded seating spots, refreshments, and curated photography opportunities. The slow pace allows guests to absorb, connect, and appreciate every detail.
Final Elephant Treat Ceremony
End with a heartfelt farewell as you offer a final treat to the elephants. This simple gesture beautifully completes your connection—warm, graceful, and emotionally memorable.
