We spent a week volunteering at the CWS and it was an incredible experience. We spent our week helping to care for the three beautiful elephants CWS supports. We cut sugar cane and other elephant snacks from local farms, prepared bowls of fruit and veggies for the elephants and wild monkeys, and helped with chores around the property

Spending one week volunteering at Cambodia Wildlife Sanctuary was the highlight of my trip through Southeast Asia. It’s an incredible place with a heart warming mission.

They genuinely care and are 100% focused on the utmost ethical version of eco-tourism possible at this 30K acre facility for elephants -- as a volunteer you WILL NOT have physical contact with the elephants. You will observe on jungle walks, food prep and appreciate these majestic souls up close but only the 2 mahouts assigned to each elephant that spend every single day will ever have physical contact with the elephants.
