The Elephant Freedom Project – Thailand’s Five Star Elephant Sanctuary; a Safe Haven for Humans and Elephants Alike

About Elephant Freedom Project

Established in 2016, the Elephant Freedom Project is dedicated to providing an elephant sanctuary in Chiang Mai for elephants rescued from forced labor or other forms of abuse/endangerment. Located just one hour from Chiang Mai, Thailand, the sanctuary offers a safe and nurturing environment where rescued elephants roam freely and live their days in peace and dignity.

Committed to elephant welfare, sustainability, and community engagement, the Elephant Freedom Project provides visitors a unique chance to connect with these gentle giants and experience the magic of healing and feelings of warmth as they make a pure connection with nature. Their dedicated staff members, who have years of experience working with elephants, are passionate about sharing their knowledge with our guests.

Unlike traditional elephant camps that exploit these gentle creatures for entertainment or labor, the Elephant Freedom Project is committed to providing an elephant sanctuary in Thailand where elephants can live freely and peacefully. The elephants are not subjected to riding, performing tricks, or other unnatural behaviors. Instead, they roam in their natural habitat, forage for food, and interact socially with their herd.

Experience Serenity and Tranquility Like Never Before 

The Elephant Sanctuary in Thailand attracts thousands of visitors annually by providing a serene escape from the hustle and bustle of modern life. Surrounded by the tranquil beauty of nature, guests find solace in the gentle presence of elephants as they roam freely in their natural habitat.

In the company of elephants, time seems to stand still as visitors become fully immersed in the moment. The rhythmic footsteps of elephants and the tranquil surroundings encourage mindfulness and presence, allowing visitors to appreciate the beauty of nature and foster a sense of connection and reverence for all living beings.

Promoting Overall Well-being 

Elephants, known for their deep emotional intelligence and social bonds, offer profound emotional healing and connection opportunities. Through hands-on activities like feeding and bathing, visitors are reported to forge meaningful connections with these majestic creatures and experience positive emotions and emotional breakthroughs in their journeys.

Guests who had previously been struggling with trauma and grief have deemed the experience transformative and emotionally healing. One guest wrote, "Interacting with these majestic creatures in their natural habitat was life-changing."

In addition to the emotional benefits, engaging in activities like walking alongside elephants or bathing promotes physical well-being. Studies have shown that spending time in nature and engaging in physical activity can improve cardiovascular health, boost mood, and reduce stress, leaving visitors feeling revitalized and rejuvenated.

Giving Back To The Community 

Recognizing the importance of protecting the planet for future generations, the Elephant Freedom Project is committed to giving back to the environment by donating a percentage of each tour to initiatives to combat climate change and remove carbon from the atmosphere. Furthering its mission to promote sustainable tourism, the Elephant Freedom Project sources all its goods, food, labor, and materials locally, thus playing its part in helping strengthen the economy of the region.

Popular Tours
