Quotes from the field
"An incredible experience. Volunteering with elephants is one of the best experiences in my life, to see the elephants in their natural environment was something I will never forget."
Rob Smith, UK, May 2010 Volunteer
"The Karen people were extremely friendly and our host family made us feel very welcome. The highlight of the trip though was taking a short trek into the jungle and being able to witness the elephants roaming free in their natural habitat, overall it was a great experience and definitely something I would do again."
