We spent an idyllic 3 days at Tiger Tops, a $600 per night lodge (for free) where we created lessons for Upschool on elephants and rhinos. Activities included walks in the jungle, accompanied by an elephant and a mahout, and two jeep safaris. Getting close to elephants and even getting to stroke their trunks was an absolutely sublime experience. The other highlight was the rhino. We had a rhino come right up to us (rather threateningly!) during our jungle walk and we also got to photograph a rhino mum and its youngster. We were treated like kings during our stay and the food was out of this world.
