About Us

About Us

Elephant Freedom Project provides a unique setting to experience our elephant sanctuary personally and intimately. We were formally established in 2016; however, our various tribe members have cared for these majestic creatures for over twenty-five years. Our commitment has remained the same over all these years: providing a safe environment to house and care for rescued elephants. Our sanctuary is one hour from the City of Chiang Mai, Thailand.

Commitment of Care

It is our honor to share this sanctuary with all our guests from around the World. We are thankful for those who support the Elephant Freedom Project, which allows us to maintain the highest level of care for our gentle giants. We are committed to providing the best medical care possible. But, more than that, we give the love that these elephants deserve. We are their voice in all matters concerning their welfare.

Elephant Freedom Project Mission Statement

A Sanctuary for elephants rescued from forced labor or other unnatural acts. Our number one mission is to care for and love these majestic creatures.
Independent from Outside Forces. We will not allow the manipulation of our commitment by outside forces. This sanctuary is a project of love, and we will never give in to any commercial influence which may affect our commitment.
Preservation of Local Community: To act in a way that will benefit the local community. The purchase of local goods and food to help support the various tribes surrounding our camp. To source all of the required labor and material from local tribe members to better the lives of those around us.
Guests Education: All our staff members have worked with the elephants for many years. We desire to share this wealth of knowledge with our guests in an entertaining yet highly educational fashion.
We are Giving Back. A percentage of each tour is donated to save the climate and remove carbon to do our small part.

  Elephant Freedom Elephant Sanctuary Chiang Mai. Il nostro gruppo era formatoda sole 3 person, interazione intima e diretta. Le attività principali includono la preparazione del cibo, la camminata con gli elefanti nella giungla e il bagno al fiume. Il nostro accompagnatore,  persona squisita, ci ha fatto fare un giro nella foresta fino alle cascate e lì abbiamo fatto il bagno. Esperienza indescrivibile. Finito il giro ci hanno dato da mangiare, abbondante frutta e da bere. Esperienza imperdonabile.

  Estuvo increíble la experiencia. Incluye almuerzo. Lee la letra chica al reservar, porque no leí y te cobran es una parte. El saldo lo pagas a los guías en el sitio y en efectivo. Fui en auto particular y fácil llegar.

  We had such a wonderful experience at the Elephant Freedom Project! It was amazing to spend time with the elephants in a way that felt respectful, ethical, and focused on their well-being. Our tour guide, Pat, was fantastic - friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about the elephants. Pat taught us so much about their behavior and care, which made the experience even more meaningful. Getting to see the elephants up close was unforgettable and definitely one of the highlights of our trip to Thailand. If you’re looking for an ethical elephant experience, we highly recommend the Elephant Freedom Project. Thank you, Pat and the team, for making our day so special!

  Really nice and special experience, definitely recommend going! We were at the afternoon program, started with lunch, then fed the elephants and went on a tour with them, where they took a bath. It was very cool to touch and walk around these huge animals! The guide was really nice, answered all our questions and took plenty of photos and videos of us. I would recommend you to give your phone to the guide to take photos and videos, so you get the desired quality. There was supposed to be a waterfall tour that we did not go to at the end, even though it was mentioned as part of the program. It was fine without, but could have been nice to see it.

  Simply put, visiting The Elephant Freedom Project is a once in a lifetime experience! These beautiful gentle giants are so magnificent to see up close and it is very clear that they are taken care of with lots of love and great care! Our guide, Pat was wonderful. He was very funny, informative and passionate about making sure we not only enjoyed our time with the elephants but that we also understood the importance of why they are here in this sanctuary. We took the full day tour and lucky us, no one else booked that day, so we had the 4 elephants all to ourselves! My family and I got to cut bananas off their stalks, hand feed them to the elephants, then walk alongside them on a hike, give them a bath and watch them enjoy the baby swimming in the river and then make medicine balls for them and feed it to them! They provided a homemade lunch for us which was very tasty and we got to visit the waterfall nearby and take some great pictures and a quick swim! The day was full of magical moments and it was a memory that my family and I will always remember when we think of Thailand. Thank you Elephant Freedom Project for such a beautiful experience.

  Wat een leuke ervaring om op deze manier (zo dichtbij!) kennis te maken met de mooie olifanten van de Sanctuary. Pat heeft ons geweldig begeleid en het eten was top. De dieren ogen erg gelukkig en worden goed verzorgd. Jullie hebben ons een mooie dag bezorgd om nooit te vergeten!
