Volunteering with the elephants in Cambodia
November 12, 2017by: NickProgram: Volunteer at an Elephant Sanctuary in CambodiaI had an amazing experience volunteering with the elephants in Cambodia. One thing that was truly awesome was the location, the elephants live a life as close as possible to their wild relatives in the jungle. The project has a massive piece of land and the elephants get to roam and forage just like in the wild. We walked the elephants into the forest and made sure they had a happy and respectful life. The project really provides a wonderful life for the elephants and I will be back!
