WorldElephantDay: ethical elephant sanctuaries to add to your bucket list
The Elephant Valley Project is well known for strict wellness standards for the rescued elephants. Located near Phnom Prich Wildlife Sanctuary near the border of Vietnam, this elephant sanctuary offers hikes through the jungle with the elephants without riding or swimming with them. Choose between a three hour hike through the protected areas with a family of elephants, or multiday packages with on-site accommodations.
In the morning, the mahouts call out to the elephants in the surrounding forest. When they appear, the elephants are fed, bathed and checked by a vet before going back to the forest to forage for the night. At Green Hill Valley, you can either pay $120 a day to feed, bathe and work with the elephants — or you can volunteer. Despite surviving on tourism dollars, the Maws allow only 25 tourists a day so the elephants are not overwhelmed.An elephant at Green Hill.
