Elephant Educational Briefing
An introduction to elephant behaviour and care.
Learn more about this gentle giant during our daily elephant briefing. Our expert naturalists will fill you in on the life and habits of wild and domestic pachyderms, explain the differences between African and Asian elephants, and share other interesting titbits. During the briefing, you can also ask to learn how to ride one of these magnificent beasts.

Good to know
The briefing covers the life and habits of wild and domestic elephants, how Asian elephants differ from African ones and why Chitwan began breeding domesticated elephants in 1985. It makes a good partner for an arrival-day visit to the elephant breeding centre. Our post on elephant breeding in Chitwan suggests some questions worth asking.
