Located in Sayaboury, around 2 hours from Luang Prabang, the center is home to around 30 elephants in a 530-hectare forest area. The elephants live in semi-liberty, in a natural paradise on the shores of Lake Nam Tien. Visitors can discover some of the conservation projects carried out by the team of passionate specialists. The Back To Wild package allows you to follow the elephants' rewilding program.

An unforgettable experience. This centre will inspire you with the crucial and excellent work they are doing to help the elephants in Laos. We had an excellent guide, who answered all of our questions. The place is very hands off the elephants, which is exactly how it should be, letting the elephants be elephants! Our two days involved a jungle walk to find the elephants, watching the baby elephant and her mum play in the water, watching the elephants socialise as a big group and watching the group of elephants playing in the water. We learned about the work ECC are doing and we met with the vet technician who gave us an insight into caring for these amazing animals. Pack your mosquito repellant as you are in the Jungle! Please go and support the elephants and avoid supporting places that allow riding elephants.

A great day at the elephant conservation. These elephants have a vast area to roam they are not captive and all proceeds this conservation make go straight back into the conservation for the elephants. Wonderful day.????????????

Suite nearly ruined the experience.
We stayed in the private rooms with our family. It’s quite a distance from restaurant up lots of stairs. Our room had a literal bees nest in the walls. We were told that they tried to get rid of them before but I guess they were back. We were stung and were moved into the room next door. No mosquito netting on the windows meant having to keep them closed in 30+ degree heat. A fan would be nice.
Bathrooms swarmed in ants and other bugs. We’ve stayed in many jungle accommodations, including deep in the Amazon, and this was the most uncomfortable.
The bungalows would have been a better choice for us.
The actual elephant tours and adventure are great, but you can tell the resort has seen better days. There seems to have been no maintenance in the last 3 years.
I think we would have preferred going to another sanctuary in Laos.

This organisation is sincerely ethic. We have been there for 3 days and saw happy and confident elephants in their natural habitat.
Su was a lovely guide and explained us everything we wanted to know about the elephants and the work of ECC.
The team from ECC cares a lot about the wellbeing and preservation of this beautiful creature.
