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 elephant sanctuary of its kind established in Asia and currently provides a caring home to over 100 elephants.
Many of the elephants living in the sanctuary of Elephant Nature Park have been rescued by Save Elephant Foundation 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 half day tours, full day tours as well as overnight with full board accommodation to stay close to the elephants at the park. And volunteer opportunities are also available to become part of the caring team helping with the feeding and various manual efforts required to support the elephants at the park.
