We are a non-profit foundation dedicated to the lifetime care of retired working elephants. Our philosophy is rooted in one simple principle: **respect the wild heart.**
We host very small visitor groups, ensuring the environment remains calm and the elephants are never overwhelmed. It is their home first.
Your visit is centered around observing natural behavior: watching them forage, play in the mud baths, and rest undisturbed in the midday sun.
We work directly with local Karen hill tribes. Your fee supports the entire ecosystem—from the animals to the people who care for them.
Begin your day by quietly accompanying the herd on their morning foraging walk. This is a time of **profound stillness** where you witness their deep social bonds in the cool jungle air.
After their walk, you help prepare the elephants' nutritional supplements and fresh fruit. This hands-on, non-intrusive activity is essential to their **daily health and happiness**.
