There’s a new arrival at Elephant Nature Park, and the herd eagerly trumpets a welcome.
For Grandma Dok Koon, this journey begins a new chapter in a life full of hardships.
Now she has new friends, loving caregivers, and plenty of time for herself.

And Toto Too
The Sheldrick Trust has protected elephants for so long that former orphans once in their care bring new babies in need of help. That’s what happened in 2022, when four ex-orphans brought little Toto, only a few days old, to give him a second chance at survival. Read Toto’s story here.
Best Elephant Friends
The elephants who live in Elephant Nature Park often form strong friendships, and perhaps the most fun are Pyi Mai and Chaba, the playful youngsters.
When these two get together, anything can happen. Now toss a speedy dog into the mix and things get really interesting.
