This elephant sanctuary provides a caring home to three elephants now retired from a life of arduous work in the logging industry and elephant riding. The elephants living here now get to spend much of the day doing what comes naturally – roaming through the jungle, foraging for wild vegetation, bathing in the river, giving themselves a mud bath, scratching against trees, and socializing with each other. At this project, an emphasis is placed on providing visitors with insights into caring for elephants, their habits, and how to interact with them respectfully.

The program offers day trips where a small group of visitors accompanied by a tour guide has the opportunity to walk through the jungle in the presence of relaxed elephants and experience being close to these enchanting animals. Guests spend time with the elephants feeding them fruit and vegetables, bathing them, and observing them in nature while they forage in the forest.

On days when project owner, Ben walks with visitors he will take professional high quality photos of guests which will be available for download. A link will be sent to each person’s Instagram account and visitors will receive photographs of themselves or their group as part of the program.

The tour includes a visit to Elephant Nature Park at the end of the day where you can enjoy watching the resident herds relaxing in the late afternoon. It is hoped that over time, a growing number of people will embrace the opportunity to be with elephants interacting freely with each other in their jungle home.
