Elephant sanctuaries are safe havens for elephants that have been rescued from captivity or abusive situations. These facilities provide a natural environment where elephants can roam freely, socialize with other elephants, and receive proper care. The focus is on rehabilitation and ensuring the well-being of the animals. Visitors to elephant sanctuaries often have the opportunity to learn about elephant behavior, conservation efforts, and the challenges faced by elephants in the wild. Many sanctuaries promote ethical tourism, allowing guests to observe and interact with elephants in a responsible manner, without riding or exploiting them.
