The mahouts do a great job. ENP couldn’t do without them. ENP has come a long way in 8-9 years!

Quelle métier vocation méconnu. J’ai une grande admiration pour les mahouts qui connaissent plus que quiconque, les éléphants. Je sais qu’á présent, presque tous veulent le bien-être de leurs protégés . Merci pour cette vidéo !

Omgosh, only 10 US dollars, I would so buy that! ENP should consider shipping gift shop products overseas.
