Your Spirit at the Elephant Freedom Project

This sanctuary serves as a haven for elephants that require dedicated care and cannot return to the wild.

Immerse yourself in a day of compassion and understanding at the Elephant Freedom Project near Pinnawala. This sanctuary serves as a haven for elephants that require dedicated care and cannot return to the wild. Here, you can intimately interact with these gentle giants, walking beside them and even participating in their bathing rituals. Beyond elephant care, the project integrates community involvement, allowing you to engage with local children at schools, explore a disabled home and learn about sustainable practices at the dung and tea factories. Visits to nearby temples and waterfalls add a spiritual and refreshing dimension to your experience.

A typical day is filled with meaningful activities, including safety briefings to ensure respectful and safe interaction with the elephants, cooking lessons where you can prepare traditional meals with local villagers and educational talks about elephant welfare. These experiences not only enrich your understanding but also support the community and the elephants.

The sanctuary emphasizes ethical treatment, with no chains and ample space for elephants to roam, bathe and play. This commitment ensures a life of dignity for the elephants, offering you a fulfilling and guilt free involvement in their care and joy. Join us for a day at the Elephant Freedom Project and make a positive impact while creating unforgettable memories.
