Through the mist of dawn, they appear, giant monotone silhouettes rolling slowly from the jungle towards the smoky lake. One by one, they enter the tranquil waters of the Nam Tien to bathe. Leisurely, they are joined by other members of the herd, this gentle procession’s silence broken only by the distant sound of the calves trumpeting. Welcome to the Elephant Conservation Center. A jungle hideaway hosting ElefantAsia’s innovative elephant nursery and hospital.
The Center has been established in the pristine province of Sayaboury, homeland to over 360 registered domes-ticated elephants and the second largest population of wild elephants in Laos. Set in a forested peninsula banking the breathtaking Nam Tien lake, the Center offers a wide range of activities taking you up close with the majestic elephants and their offspring. Our range of facilities can
accommodate your stay from a day up to a month.
So, come experience the “Way of the Mahout”.

The Center
The Elephant Conservation Center is supported by Elefant-Asia non-profit association.For more information on the work ElefantAsia undertakes at the Center, check out:
www.elefantasia.org
Come join our international team and conserve the elephants of Laos.
The Center welcomes volunteers of all ages, our only requirement is commitment! Working alongside elephants is highly demanding and we will need the very best of your imagination, skills and personality. In return, we will guarantee that no other place in Laos will offer you such an opportunity as the Center for hands on experience, learning and fun.
Long term volunteering includes meals and accommodation.
See our website for further details or contact us throughour volunteer booking form.
How we are different?
• Rather than taking elephants from their natural home into urban tourist areas, we take YOU to THEM, in their undisturbed natural environment;
• Elephants at the Center are here to rest, either waiting to give birth or recovering from an exhausting life in logging or mass tourism industries. Do NOT expect to see package tours riding our elephants all day long!
• The money you pay not only sustains the Center and its residents. But 5% is repaid to elephant conservation projects in Laos. We are the only company in Laos to fund conservation action for ALL elephants across the country;
• Our elephants inhabit 106ha of protected forest providing suf-ficient quantity and variety of natural fodder;
• The Center’s elephant welfare policy is implemented by ElefantAsia;
• Our elephant hospital & nursery are staffed by professional vets;
• Our facilities are ecologically friendly utilising solar power and water from the lake which we filter. We produce elephant dung paper and our brochures are produced using recycled paper. To reduce the use of new building materials, our infrastructure uses old traditional Lao houses relocated to the Center;
• Overall the Center is a place of learning.
Not just another elephant camp...
Be the difference!
