“We really enjoyed visiting Apopo Rat museum. It was interesting to learn that those rats are saving lives ! We were able to hold a rat and learn great facts about their job. Next we went to Siem Reap Elephants sanctuary. Wow, what a great experience! We made rice and banana bowls for the elephants and fed them, It was a lot of fun and laughter. After that we followed them going to the mud bath and into the river. We were able to wash them and the guides took lots of pictures for us. The guide told us a lot about each elephant and their preferences and habits. .…”
