OVERVIEW

Spend 4 weeks of your summer exploring some of the remote regions of Southeast Asia where elephants roam. In Cambodia, the lush Keo Seima Wildlife Sanctuary will be your base, where you will study the behavior, ecology, and welfare needs of the endangered Asian elephant. Then, in Thailand, delve into human-wildlife conflict and conservation pressures and examine elephant management practices near KuiBuri National Park. 

PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS

→  Stay at the Elephant Valley Project in the forested Keo Seima Wildlife Sanctuary in Cambodia to observe semi-wild, rehabilitated Asian elephants as they forage, bathe, and interact with each other.

→  Stay at Bring the Elephants Home in homestays in Ruam Thai village next to the world-renowned Kuiburi National Park in Thailand, where you are guaranteed to see wild elephants on tour.

→  Visit the vibrant city of Phnom Penh and the ancient temples of Angkor to explore Cambodia's history and culture. Then, complete your journey in the hustle and bustle of Bangkok.
