  • Usually, one or more elephants come to the pool in the stream to drink - because they like the salty flavour of the minerals in the ground.
  • But there's no guarantee you will actually see an elephant.
  • Tourists and elephants are separated by a big meadow and some concrete steps or steel cables, so that the animals can go about their business undisturbed.
