The Mondulkiri Project is run by the Cambodian Elephant Rescue Organisation, a registered Cambodian ngo. Our aims are to protect a forested valley from logging and create an elephant sanctuary for rescued elephants to retire to away from elephant rides and hard physical. We invite people to visit the Project โ€“ a forested area with beautiful waterfalls, swimming holes and valleys, located near Sen

Monorom. Our elephant sanctuary is now home to rescued elephants who are free to roam around doing whatever elephants love to do - eating, drinking, scratching against trees and playing in the mud. We offer a variety of jungle trekking options, encounters with elephants, information on Bunong customs and traditions. The Mondulkiri Project's mission is to support the local community by providing it with an opportunity to have an income without having to cut down all its forests. The forests are a limited resource facing increasing pressures from rubber plantations and farming.

Rumkeurn is looking very much at home. ๐Ÿ˜๐ŸŒฟ

Our newest elephant, Rumkeurn, is settling into life at the Mondulkiri Project โ€” spending his days wandering through the forest, foraging and exploring his new surroundings.

For an elephant, there are few things more important than having the freedom to move, choose where to go and spend time simply behaving like an elephant.

And a protected forest around him, Rumkeurn has plenty to explore. ๐Ÿ’š

Weโ€™re very happy to have him with us.

๐Ÿ˜ If you'd like to meet Rumkeurn and our other elephants, you can book directly through mondulkiriproject.org. More of your money goes directly towards elephant welfare, protecting the forest and supporting our Bunong guides.

A glimpse into a day with the elephants at the Mondulkiri Project ๐Ÿ˜๐ŸŒฟ

Our rescued elephants spend their days roaming freely through the forest, foraging, bathing and simply being elephants.

A huge thank you to Kun Lin Studio for capturing the beauty of the sanctuary and sharing this wonderful video with us. ๐ŸŽฅ๐Ÿ’š

Not a bad way to end a day in the jungle. ๐ŸŒ…

This is sunset from our Jungle Lodge, hidden among the forests of Mondulkiri.

Guests on our overnight tours can spend the day at our elephant sanctuary before having dinner and sleeping at the lodge, surrounded by the sounds of the jungle.

Then it's back onto the trail the following morning to visit beautiful waterfalls.

If you'd like more than a day with the elephants, our longer elephant and trekking tours let you experience much more of the forests we call home.

Comvine and Princess enjoying the river ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ’ฆ๐Ÿ˜

A visit to the Mondulkiri Project often includes time at our beautiful jungle waterfall, where our elephants can choose to cool down and enjoy the water.

We never force our elephants to bathe. Sometimes they head straight in, sometimes they stay in the forest โ€” it's entirely up to them.

For us, moments like this are what visiting an elephant sanctuary should be about: watching elephants make their own choices and enjoying simply being elephants.

Into the Mondulkiri forest ๐ŸŒฟ

Our Bunong guides have grown up with these forests and know their trails, plants, rivers and stories.

Our longer tours give you the chance to combine a day with our rescued elephants with a trek deeper into the surrounding jungle โ€” experiencing another side of Mondulkiri that many visitors never see.

Meet Comvine ๐Ÿ˜

Spending time with our elephants in the forest gives our guests the chance to see just how different each of their personalities can be.

During our elephant sanctuary tours, our Bunong guides share the elephants' stories while you walk through the forest alongside them and observe them at their own pace.

Every visit helps us continue providing a safe home for our rescued elephants while supporting our local Bunong guides and community.

Comvine appears to be giving one of the forest trees a very enthusiastic hug. ๐Ÿ˜๐ŸŒณ

An elephantโ€™s trunk is incredibly sensitive and versatile, allowing them to smell, touch, lift and explore almost everything around them.

Comvine spends her days moving freely through the forest, investigating whatever catches her interest. On this occasion, the tree clearly deserved a closer inspection.

Crossing the suspension bridge during our 1 Day Elephant Sanctuary Tour, as guests head into the forest in search of the elephants.

Our elephants move freely through the protected valley rather than waiting in one fixed location.

Each visit therefore begins with a forest walk led by our Bunong guides, who use their knowledge of the elephants and the landscape to find where they are spending the day.

A beautiful moment with Comvine, featuring , who recently became one of her sponsors.

We are always especially grateful when a guestโ€™s connection with one of our elephants continues after their visit. Sponsorship helps support Comvineโ€™s food, care and life in the forest, while also contributing to the wider work of the Mondulkiri Project.

Thank you, , for supporting Comvine and for sharing this lovely image with us.

Meet Sok, the Bunong mahout caring for Rumkeurn.

Sok has moved with his wife and children from Ratanakiri Province to Mondulkiri to take on this important role. He is a highly skilled and experienced mahout, with the knowledge, patience and confidence needed to care for a male elephant.

We are very grateful to have him as part of the Mondulkiri Project team, helping Rumkeurn adjust to his new home and supporting his daily care in the forest.
