Elephant Sanctuary Ethos

Here we do what is best for elephants plain and simple.

More and more elephant sanctuaries are popping up in the area. It can often be hard to distinguish good from bad / false from genuine. As a registered Cambodian NGO and the original elephant sanctuary in Cambodia, we weigh in.

Find out about what makes us different and how we define our sanctuary.

What We Are About!

The First Sanctuary in Cambodia
For the past 18 years, we have worked hard to develop the best sanctuary possible for the care of captive elephants in Cambodia. Through development of our founding ethos and good practices, our goal is to spread this model across South East Asia. We connect the care of captive elephants, support and investment in local people, and protection and stewardship of the environment into one cohesive model. The only thing missing is you!
Lots of room to Roam Free!
We are the largest captive elephant sanctuary in the region with just over 1,500 hectares of forest, rivers, grassland, and bamboo groves. With 7 elephants that means each elephant has more space than any other elephant sanctuary to roam freely in their natural habitat.
Charity is Our Passion
We are one of the most charitable elephant sanctuary in Asia with over 50% of the funds raised going directly to causes we support outside of elephant care. Through our programs more than 2,400 local people receive health care support, 40+ school children receive scholarships, impoverished families receive food subsistence, and as a major employer in the region local people have access to stable jobs with opportunities to advance and grow. We consider ourselves a key part of the community we live in and work for.
Serious About Conservation
We invest in the protection of our neighbour the 300,000 hectare Keo Siema Wildlife Sanctuary. In partnership with Wildlife Conservation Society and the Ministry of the Environment, we support forest protection initiatives and research efforts, as this forest hosts some of Cambodia’s las remaining of wild elephants and other critically endangered wildlife.
