Keen to become best mates with one of the most amazing animals on Earth?
Picture this: you, Sri Lanka, and elephants. Big, gentle giants, that’ll melt your heart in seconds. Sadly, many of these legends have been through a lot, like back-breaking labour in the logging industry, harsh domestication, or poor treatment in tourism. But thanks to an incredible local organisation, they’re finally getting the care, love, and rest they deserve. And that’s where you come in!
As a volunteer, you’ll help give these beautiful elephants the life they’ve earned. From splashing around at bath time to prepping their daily vitamins (yep, they’ve got their own supplement routine), you’ll be hands-on from the get-go. You’ll also pitch in with day-to-day project tasks like working on the eco-farm. Trust us, your days will be full, but in the best way.
Elephant Project
Care for your very own elephant buddy for the trip. You’ll also support admin tasks, help with fundraising, and assist in maintaining the project site. It’s a brilliant way to support not just the animals, but the local community too.
Eco-Farm
Get your hands dirty in the eco-garden, growing fresh fruit, veggies, and herbs. All local, all chemical-free. These go straight into the meals for elephants and visitors. It’s a proper chance to learn about Sri Lankan farming methods up close.
Mobile Vet Unit (MVU)
Join local vets as they travel across Sri Lanka treating sick elephants in need. It’s a dream gig for animal lovers and an awesome way to explore more of the country. Sometimes the MVU travels hundreds of kilometres to make sure every elephant gets the care it needs.
Every day is a new adventure, from elephant baths and vitamin mixes to garden work and community impact. So, are you ready to give these gentle giants the love they deserve and discover a culture that’ll steal your heart?
You’ll work Monday to Friday, with different tasks each day. There are both morning and evening shifts.

Vrijwilligerswerk is voor mij het delen van ervaringen. Hoe meer energie je erin stopt, hoe meer voldoening je er ook uit kan halen.
