Elephant conservation holidays

Our elephant conservation holidays have been hand picked to ensure that volunteers are making a real difference to animals genuinely in need - whether that involves preparing elephant-sized quantities of food, tracking desert elephants through the dunes of Namibia or washing Asian elephants in a jungle river. We don't support any 'sanctuaries' which promote elephant rides or performances; these are spaces for elephants to genuinely recover and relax.
