Bringing two kids to First Randoli. How far back from the elephants should we stand for a clear view without being in the animal path or the densest push.

One or two people deep off the immediate kerb is usually enough for kids — close enough to see, far enough that handlers and the animal have room. Hold hands when the row surges.

Skip the absolute front row with small children. A slight step back plus an agreed exit alley beats a perfect phone shot.

Brief kids beforehand: no sudden runs toward animals, no flash in faces. Calm beats bravery.
