Splashing Around With Ellies at the Elephant Conservation Center - Laos

The most wonderful place in Laos.

Last year Luke and I had one of the most incredible experiences of our entire trip through South East Asia. We wanted to spend some time at an elephant sanctuary while we were in South East Asia, but it can be REALLY hard to differentiate between the places that are just taking tourists money and places that are actually doing good things for their elephants.

We'd already read a lot about the dangers of riding elephants (dangerous to the elephant I mean) and we wanted to make sure we didn't end up at some place that was just perpetuating the problem that we were trying to learn more about.

We found all of this at the elephant conservation center​ in Laos. They were some of the most eye opening and wonderful few days of our trip and also maybe just ever. They are doing so much not only for the elephant population of Laos, but for its people. They're creating jobs, lobbying against logging with the government, breeding elephants, and all while caring deeply for their impact on the environment.

If you are ever in Laos, I urge you to spend a few days at the Elephant Conservation Center. I urge you to learn more about the plight of elephants in this region and to give your dollars to an organization that is truly sustainable.

PS - they didn't pay me or comp our trip in any way. Luke and I paid for everything ourselves, I just truly believe in what the ECC are doing and I want you to go check it out!
