Elephant sanctuaries serve as havens for elephants, providing them a secure and natural environment. The core objective of these sanctuaries is to rescue and rehabilitate elephants that have faced abuse, exploitation, or injury, ultimately enabling them to live without fear and maltreatment.

With spacious enclosures and surroundings resembling their natural habitat, these sanctuaries allow elephants to roam, socialize, and exhibit natural behaviors. Additionally, many elephant sanctuaries prioritize education and research, working diligently to promote awareness about elephants’ challenges while advocating for their conservation and welfare.

Elephant Freedom Project does NOT allow the riding of elephants.

Elephant rides in Thailand have long been a tourist favorite, drawing visitors from all corners of the globe. Regrettably, what many fail to realize is the troubling mistreatment and brutality involved in training and domesticating these majestic creatures.

In light of these disturbing practices, it is imperative for us all to question the ethics behind elephant rides in Thailand and reconsider our support for this industry.

While the idea of riding elephants may initially appear exciting, the true reality is far from enjoyable – in fact, it is undeniably cruel and inhumane. Elephants are incredibly intelligent and sociable beings that thrive in their natural habitats.

However, when these creatures are trained and domesticated solely for the purpose of entertaining tourists, they are subjected to severe physical and emotional abuse. These are the very elephants we have rescued.

We offer four different elephant experiences daily. You may join us for a full day tour lasting eight hours, or one of our half day tours lasting four hours.

We also have a feeding experience which last one hour.
