Elephant Freedom Project

Happy at the Elephant Freedom Project. Free from tourist rides. Support to give elephants the good life they deserve! Just accompanying on walks.

Our small family run Elephant Freedom Project is a shelter for captive elephants. Surrounded by the many elephant riding places we make the difference. We are the only place where there is no elephant riding - never. We are no mass tourist attraction and don't like elephant tricks. We aim to give elephants a good and safe home. At this moment two elephants are staying with us, their names are Kuma

ri and Kumari (which means princess). So we have 2 princesses living with us! For many years they had to work in the harsh tourist riding industry, now they are safe. You are very welcome to visit us and experience a special elephant encounter which is suitable for all. To keep a relaxed and peaceful atmosphere for the elephant and you, we limit the amount of visitors per day. For this reason you need to make a booking in advance. You can find us in Kegalle, between Kandy and Colombo and only 2 hours away from the airport. We also provide good and affordable accommodation.

Thank you karalisjimg7 for the video. As everyone who has visited us knows, the sticks are never used at the project. They're just a safety measure since we walk on the public roads.

Manika and Seetha

Raining means.. mud :)

Manika scratching

Elephants love to scratch. It's a great feeling and helps against parasites too. Manika certainly loves it!

This is a video from a couple of weeks ago when Raja had just arrived at our place. Here he is in the enclosure, splashing, keeping cool while we are refilling the tanks. .

the Elephant Freedom project

Do you like to see happy elephants play in the mud for 4 minutes? Then you would surely like to see Sujee and Wasthu enjoy themselves today at the Elephant Freedom Project. And if you really enjoyed this video please share with the rest of the world?

I found this video on my PC, I recorded it some months ago. Sujee and Wasthu sharing an intimate experience in the enclosure. We built the enclosure with the aim of minimizing the chaining but prefer them to be as much out of the enclosure as possible. That's why we let them roam outside twice a day. However, inside they also have a good time :)

Early this morning. Sujee and Wasthu were very playful, running around and playing with the tires and the wood. Shortly after this we took them on a nice long morning walk.

Today in the enclosure. Wasthu was very playful, the tire, the hose, he loved it all! :) It seems the monsoon is finally over. It was crazy this year with a lot of damage in the country. Now it's sunny again, happy times!

A very short video of Wasthu and Sujee in the enclosure. Watch the ears flap. Ears are great for cooling the body but they are also a great sign of happiness. And when they go flapping like on the video you know you are looking at some very happy elephants :) (sorry for the shaky vid, i didn't bring my camera).

Muddy elephants

In the paddy fields during the daily walk. Watch the video, it will make you happy! What's nicer than seeing our happy elephants playing in the mud? Visit us: www.elephantfreedomproject.com
