Travelling with a large group of women, it was only natural some of our number were fearful of the thought of playing elephant polo, and personally when reading my trip notes I had misgivings about the animal cruelty aspect of it. I need not have worried, as the snails pace was not at all taxing and the elephants seemed very... More

Heading to this "mysterious" destination which took us around 20 minutes off the main highway (near Amer) was exciting. We had to pass thro9ugh patches of small pacca/ mettel road kaccha/ unmettel road. Passing by refreshing green areas and barren land and hill region was a nice experience. Once arrive at the venue, you feel relaxed. You are welcomed with... More

I never thought I'd play elephant polo but I now have and loved every second of it. Great day, delicious food and very friendly and courteous team. After the intensity of Jaipur it is refreshing to head out of town and experience a bit of more rural India.

Dera Amer Elephant Safari is a great experience. It's a beautiful venue. I didn't have time to do the bathing and painting but the elephant ride and dinner were great. Highly recommended!

This was by far one of the BEST things we have ever done! We had no idea how elegant this venue would be, we were delightfully surprised by the amenities at Dera Amer -- INCREDIBLE service, DELICIOUS food, and of course the ONCE IN A LIFETIME ELEPHANT EXPERIENCE! Lashmi is the most beautiful creature, such a HUGE elephant. We fell... More

I have never been up close to an elephant before and just adored my time with Lashmi. The surroundings are quiet and peaceful and it felt like such a priviledge to be able to wash her and care for her. Painting her trunk was great fun and she seems to enjoy the interaction and attention. The ride round on her... More

For some reason anything to do with elephants in Jaipur seems to attract a huge premium over any other local attractions. Elephantastic is the other major local attraction involving Elephants and seems to get highly rated despite charging the best part of a $100 per head. Dera Amer was a high quality venue with well kept animals; courteous service and... More

Our costing is based upon providing a level of exclusive and luxury time with the elephants and appropriate amount of exercise as well as amount of healthy human interaction for the elephants in relation to the expenditures we incur while taking...
