News from Elephant Nature Park

Elephants at Elephant Nature Park are free to roam the valley and mountains around the huge park area. But what happens when a herd of cows stands in the way of an elephant day trip across the river?

Normally, they will coexist peacefully, but today the herd of cows blocks their path to the forest. In this delicate situation, let’s see what they will do.

Incensed, HomNuan leads the charge to drive these interlopers away. The cows respected the giant’s wishes in an uneasy stand-off. What is a cow to do after all ?

They stopped in their tracks, emitting low rumbles and trumpets to HomNuan, who promptly responded to their calls and rushed to her friends' calls.

Former Trekking Elephant expresses her new life of freedom in the Mae Taeng River

Maliwan's former life was one of neglect and abuse. Even her trunk had been slashed with a knife. She never knew kindness or even companionship. Since being rescued by Save Elephant Foundation and welcomed into the sanctuary of Elephant Nature Park, her life has totally changed. Maliwan loves the freedom of the park and especially the river! In the rainy season, the swollen Mae Taeng river is a source of great joy for Maliwan and she plays with reckless abandon while her friends patiently await for her on the pebbled shore.
