Sandra's Time Observing Elephants in Sri Lanka

This is an effective, worthwhile conservation organization to support! My reason for coming was to contribute to wildlife conservation instead of a typical vacation.



Also to see first hand what they are doing to conserve incredible animals like elephants, wild cats, and butterflies. The dormitory-like accommodation was fun, and rustic. Meeting a variety of people from all over the world adds to the experience.



The staff are extremely knowledgeable, friendly and great to work with. Overall the experience was worthwhile, and I felt the work was meaningful. However, I was hoping for more wildlife experiences such as night drives for the wild cats we did track surveys for, bird watching, and other searches for the variety of animals that can be found here. I was fortunate to see numerous elephants and I will never forget the experience!
