The Mondulkiri Elephant & Wildlife Sanctuary, also known as L.E.A.F Cambodia, is a haven for rescued elephants in the heart of Cambodia's Mondulkiri Province.

Visitors can observe, interact with, and learn about these incredible creatures in a responsible and sustainable way. The sanctuary works with the local Bunong community to protect the forest from illegal logging and promote ethical tourism. Funds from visitor contributions and donations directly support working elephant retirement programs, local forest protection, education, and financial support to Mondulkiri's indigenous communities.

Visitors can participate in various activities such as feeding and bathing the elephants, as well as taking guided walks through the jungle. These experiences offer a unique opportunity to connect with the elephants and learn about their stories, while also supporting the sanctuary's conservation efforts. The sanctuary is committed to prioritizing local inclusion and creating a positive change for both the elephants and the community.
