My excitement rose as I walked into the main building which served as a gift shop, restaurant and feeding station. The extensive walkways provided the perfect vantage points to photograph the animals. After a brief orientation and information session we toured the facility including the medical station which is a crucial component of the rescue sanctuary. The many charts demonstrated just how vital and intimate the care is for each elephant. This park is truly for them. As a visitor, my role was to observe and help fund the sanctuary through purchasing a day pass and to raise awareness by sharing my experience with others.
