MandaLao Elephant Conservation, Luang Prabang

A life time experience. You will get to dive into the philosophy (and hard work) of a true called elephant sanctuary. They are basically saving the elephants from the tourist camps to offer them a 'reeducation to the true taste of life' in a wide national park without chains and hustles. Meet the initiator of the project that has already proved the importance of the elephants in Thailand by succeeding in his project and by reintroducing captive elephants into the wild. This is definitely not an attraction but more a project into which you can take part.

The best experience you can have with elephants. The guides speak very good english and are very friendly. They explain everything we need to know before interacting with elephants. The place is really beautiful and the walk in the jungle is also a great way back to nature. I would give more stars if I could!

Best experience of my life! My husband and I went to MandaLao in 2017. The staff are genuinely great people who love and care for elephants. Of course the elephants were adorable too. We enjoy walking with them, bathing, and feeding them. And the meal at the end was delicious too! Highly recommend!

Loved every minute of our experience, could not fault it. Will be coming back to Laos just to come here and support the initiative again.

Absolutely amazing experience. They put the animals first and it is magical to spend time with the elephants
