You want to meet the gently giants knowing the elephants are treated good – Then you should visit the Elephant Welfare Centre with us!
We pick you up at directly in front of your hotel with one of our air conditioned minivans and transfer you to an animal welfare certificated elephant camp.
There you can observe the animals in their natural habitat and see them interact with conspecifics, while getting some interesting facts about the life of the Asian elephants.
Before getting into the water with the animals, you can make your bathing partner happy by feeding her with bananas.
Don’t forget to bring your bathing clothes, because you won’t stay dry in the river with the giants.
You can play with them, splash them and cuddle up to them – most important is that you and the elephants are having a great time. You only have to resign sitting or riding on them due to animal welfare rules.
ABOUT ACES Asian Captive Elephant Standards is the independent, reliable and transparent link between the tourism industry and captive elephant welfare. Our camp guidelines were developed in 2015 and after much consultation we developed a set of over 190 strict camp criteria. All criteria have been independently validated by international specialists in elephant management, veterinary care and animal welfare. Our goal is to ensure Asian elephant welfare while meeting the needs of the community and tourism stakeholders. Elephant welfare is the most important aspect of elephant tourism, and we engage, support and strengthen the tourism industry’s role in providing excellent standards of elephant care. We believe in respectful communication and cooperation with elephant camp owners. We do not condone rude or angry behaviour towards camps as this is not in the spirit of responsible travel, harmony or improvement. We prefer to listen and offer help rather than act in a combative manner. Read more: Elephant welfare - ACES
