Elephant Camp & Hill Tribe Teaching - 2 weeks

What will you be doing, who will you meet and where will you stay?

Get up close and personal with Thailand.

The Elephant Camp and Hill Tribe Teaching is an excellent project where you get to spend time with some amazing elephants as well as teach English to the local kindergarten and to the Mahouts, who look after the elephants.

This project is excellent if you want to combine working with elephants and teaching English. The size of the groups taking this project are small, which will give you an intimate experience of the project.

It’s easier then you think to make a difference.
