Elephant Nature Park (ENP) is an elephant rescue and rehabilitation centre in Northern Thailand, founded by renowned elephant rights advocate, Saengduean Chailert, known by her nickname Lek. It is the first ethical elephant sanctuary of its kind established in Asia and currently provides a caring home to many elephants. Many of the elephants living in the sanctuary of Elephant Nature Park have been rescued from street begging, elephant riding, and circus shows, where they often sustained both physical and psychological injuries. The park’s herds include blind, crippled, orphaned, and senior elephants who are now free to live a peaceful life in natural surroundings, where they are loved and respected.
Elephant Nature Park offers ethical half day tours, full day tours as well as overnight with full board accommodation, to stay close to the elephants at the park. Weekly stay Participants learn about elephant care and behaviour, cut grass and cornstalks for the elephants, wash and prepare fruit and other food for our herds, learn to make an elephant fruit cake, clean their shelters, help with maintenance tasks around the park, as well as with other projects designed to support the elephants.
This program offers participants an enriching experience with time to observe elephants living a more natural life in an environment of respect, trust, and kindness.
