Elephant Sanctuary Siem Reap

The Cambodian Wildlife sanctuary is the closest elephant sanctuary to Siem Reap. This wildlife sanctuary was founded in 2004 by an American lawyer named David Casselman in a partnership with the Cambodian Government.  David Casselman has also founded the ngo Elephant in Crisis.  The Cambodian Wildlife Sanctuary has more than one million acres of forest landscape and a diverse wildlife population which including tigers, buffalos, monkeys and Asian elephants. It is located approximately 1 hour north of Angkor Wat in the provinces of Siem Reap, Preah Vihear and Odor Mean Chey.The Cambodian Wildlife Sanctuary is one of many wonderful projects managed by Lek Chailert from the Elephant Nature Park

This week the elephant sanctuary rescued two new elephants. One is named Sarai Mia. She is featured in the image below.  She is a very young elephant and looks forward to a very long time living in the elephant sanctuary Siem Reap

At the elephant sanctuary Siem Reap it is possible to participate in a seven day volunteer program. It costs $400 for adults and must be booked in advance. Children are half price. You can check details, prices, starting times and availability on all of their tours on their website.  If you must see elephants whilst you are in Siem Reap please visit this sanctuary rather than riding elephants at Angkor Thom.
