How to Help Elephants
If you are interested in working with animals, some of the most rewarding experiences can be found with elephants.
There is the option to see elephants in the wild on a safari, donate to wildlife organisations or actually get hands on by applying to help in person.
You can find volunteer programs, internships and paid jobs with elephants all around the world but we recommend travelling to a country where they are native to. Popular destinations to apply include Thailand and South Africa.
Wildlife sanctuaries and conservation organisations hire staff all year round to work with this majestic animals. No matter if you are planning a gap year or career break, or just want to do something meaningful, you can join every month with short and long term projects available.
Some companies charge a fee which generally includes transfers, accommodation, training, meals and activities. Every project is different so research all before applying.
