Home to 84 elephants, this elephant orphanage is located in 25 acres of beautiful land next to a river. This orphanage is a breeding sanctuary for rescued, injured, and abused wild elephants, established by the Department of Wildlife Conservation in 1976 with a focus of providing care and protection to the many orphaned elephants found in the jungle and they desperately need volunteers like you.
