My friend Jack has been in Mondulkiri for 6 years setting up the Elephant Project here, which now consists of several bungalows as accommodation for tourists and volunteers working at the project. You can go for the day, week, month or several months!
The work there consists of working with the mahouts (elephant handlers) to ensure that they do not mistreat the elephants. Jack pays the mahouts a certain amount each month so that their sick/injured/infirm elephants do not have to work, causing them further suffering and long term health issues.
The plot of land out at the project is beautiful and I spent a lovely afternoon wandering through the jungle at elephants pace, stopping for the occasional mud bath!
So check out the website and if you ever fancy spending a week in the remote jungle, in lovely lodgings and spending the day walking around with elephants, this is the place to go!!!
