Wildlife SOS - Elephant Conservation and Care Center - Racecourse in Churmura - Mathura, India

We were delighted to visit this elephant conservation sanctuary and see how much the lives of these majestic animals have improved. It is great to see how much happier the elephants clearly are here, compared to some of the awful conditions that they have been previously kept in. It is easy to see that everyone there has a lot of love and respect for these elephants and cares about their wellbeing. The staff at the centre were knowledgeable, happy to answer questions, knew each of the elephants by name and clearly loved explaining all of their different personality quirks! If you love animals, 10/10 recommend a visit (I'd also recommend a visit to the sloth bear sanctuary, run by the same organisation, which is inside the bird sanctuary on the way from/back to Agra). Visits are easy to arrange - we just emailed the centre and heard back within a few hours.

A wonderful place to visit! It is great to see how they give mistreated elephants a new life! They also do an excellent job at educating society about why elephants should be free and not held captive.

Amazing place to learn about the elephants and to be educated about what torture they've been through while enslaved by humans. You can see them in rehabilitation getting a new life. Amazing experience for families, couples and children.

An eye opening experience, you will learn how elephants are used and abused all over India. And to see how they are happy in the sanctuary is heart warming. Keep up the great work

To experience a dream of a lifetime one should visit Wildlife SOS Elephant Sanctuary. Elephants that had previously been abused and used for begging purposes get a second chance of life. All the elephants suffer from mistreatment, but Wildlife SOS is there to nurse them back to health both physically and mentally. It is an incredible organization!

Great Initiative. People have to be made aware of the suffering these Elephants go thru. Thanks to Wildlife sos they can heal and have a Nice retirement. Me and my Daughter will remember this for a Long time and wish you the best of luck for the Future. People who Read this they can use your donation to keep helping the Elephants.

It was an eye opening experience! Very warm and hardworking staff! They have a lot of information about treatment of elephants and the issues. There are volunteering opportunities for people who want to learn more or contribute. I'll be back.

This place I will remember more than Taj Mahal. Absolutely brilliant people work here and do really important mission with helping animals. Location is distant but just follow the Google map directions and you will get there.
