Elephant Breeding Centre Visit
Learn about elephants and their care during an educational visit.
Of all the animals, elephants are probably the most graceful. Our naturalists will take you to the Hattisar at the Elephant Breeding Centre to show you how the elephants’ meals are prepared and how they eat, and they’ll explain the nature and habits of these animals. This unique Centre was established in 1985 for the captive breeding of domesticated elephants, rather than relying on trapping them for domestication.

Good to know
The centre is at Khorsor, near Sauraha. On our overnight packages, the visit usually takes place on the afternoon you arrive, together with a village visit; on the 1-day trip it comes at the end of the day. Please keep a respectful distance and turn off your camera flash. Our visitor's guide to the breeding centre has more tips.
