Meet the Elephants

We are locally run project and promote eco-tourism at our Elephant Project in Mondulkiri, Cambodia. Mondulkiri Gibbon & Wildlife Safari is a self supported project (No donation support). There is some money from people visiting the project but it is very small amount and not enough to support the whole project and do what we want. I would love for you to come and visit the Mondulkiri Gibbon & Wildlife Safari for yourself. To visit them is to save them! – I hope you will visit us soon!
