OVERVIEW

Spend your summer exploring remote regions of Southeast Asia where elephants roam. In Cambodia, you’ll begin with a week in Siem Reap before heading to the lush Keo Seima Wildlife Sanctuary in Mondulkiri for two weeks, where you will study the behavior, ecology, and welfare needs of the endangered Asian elephant. The program wraps up with a week in Phnom Penh, immersing in the dynamic energy of Cambodia’s capital.

PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS

→  Stay at the Elephant Valley Project in the forested Keo Seima Wildlife Sanctuary in Cambodia to observe semi-wild, rehabilitated Asian elephants as they forage, bathe, and interact with each other.

→  Engage with Kulen Elephant Forest to analyze elephant welfare practices and the transition from traditional tourism models to conservation-centered management.

→  Visit the vibrant city of Phnom Penh and the ancient temples of Angkor to explore Cambodia's history and culture.
