Travel Guide

Got to get up close and personal to a rescued elephant at the Elephant Conservation Center (ECC) in Laos. This center is also a lodge that has several huts you can stay in. Staying here for three days made my three week trip to Southeast Asia. By far the highlight of my trip!

They truly care about the elephants at ECC and sadly that is not something you see at all elephant camps in SE Asia. 

The staff was amazing and provide an incredible atmosphere to learn about elephant conservation. I would highly recommend anyone wanting to see elephants in Asia to come here.

You can see an read more about ECC in a photo essay I wrote: http://bit.ly/1Ji7cvB

I also made a short video about their Baby Bonus Program that supports baby elephants in the area: https://youtu.be/aAonj8NF8HA
(Warning: Extremely cute baby elephant footage.)
