Vollständige Beschreibung

Indiens erstes Elefantenkrankenhaus, und ein echtes Rettungszentrum

Wildlife SOS betreibt das Elephant Conservation and Care Centre in Churmura, etwa eine Stunde von Agra, und das ist die echte Sache statt eines Schutzgebiets nur im Namen.

Die Elefanten hier kommen aus dem Bettelgeschäft, aus Zirkussen, von Hochzeits- und Tempeldiensten, und aus den touristischen Reitreihen. Viele kamen blind an, mit zerschmetterten Füßen, mit Abszessen vom Ankus, oder unterernährt. Manche hatten Jahrzehnte in Ketten verbracht.

Die Organisation betreibt vor Ort auch das erste Elefantenkrankenhaus des Landes, mit Hydrotherapiebecken, digitalem Röntgen und einer Quarantänestation.

Was ein Besuch ist

Keine Streichelsession. Es gibt kein Reiten, kein Baden mit den Elefanten und kein Füttern von Hand, die Tiere erholen sich, und das Pflegeprotokoll geht vor.

Was Sie stattdessen bekommen, ist Beobachtung auf Abstand, bei der ein Pfleger die Geschichte jedes Tiers erklärt: wofür es eingesetzt wurde, was bei seiner Ankunft nicht in Ordnung war, und wie seine Genesung ausgesehen hat. Mehrere der Elefanten hier sind in Indien einzeln gut bekannt.

Sie sehen außerdem, wie viel Arbeit das kostet, die Futterzubereitung, die Fußpflege, das schlichte Ausmaß der Gehege.

Es ist ruhiger und nachdenklicher als interaktive Erlebnisse, und die meisten Menschen finden es ergreifender.

Warum es zählt

Elefantenreiten am Amber Fort und an Agras Monumenten gibt es immer noch. Zu sehen, wie die Füße und die Wirbelsäule dieser Tiere nach zwanzig Jahren davon aussehen, ist das überzeugendste Argument gegen eine solche Buchung, und deshalb verkaufen wir sie nicht.

Praktisch

Rund eine Stunde Fahrt je Strecke und zwei Stunden vor Ort, mit Privatwagen und Fahrer.

Der Eintritt erfolgt über ein spendenbasiertes Ticket, bezahlt im Zentrum; dieses Geld geht in die Pflege der Tiere.

Kein Blitzlicht, und folgen Sie den Anweisungen der Pfleger genau.

Inklusive

  • Private Transfers (jeder Ort in Agra)
  • Wasserflasche für alle Besucher

Nicht inklusive

  • Eintrittskarte, 2.500 ₹ pro Person. Direkt bei Wildlife SOS zu kaufen

My daughter and I have a very good time at the Elephant sanctuary. We learned so much about elephants and the importance of protecting them. It was an enriching experience we will never forget. Such beautiful animals. Our guide at the sanctuary was great, took lots of time to answers our questions and our drive got us back and forth safely. Would definitely recommend this trip to everyone. Thanks wildlife SOS Elephant Conservation for the work you do.

It was very special seeing Elephants so close and grateful to know they are now in a safe space being treated with care. The assigned driver (Shahid) from Agra to the wildlife sanctuary was polite and very talented at driving through traffic. Very happy with their service. The guide that worked at the wildlife sanctuary was very passionate and knowledgeable. I had learnt so much about the elephants past life, where they are now and the sanctuary’s plans for the future. I hope this tour is expanded in the future to also include the sun bears sanctuary which is run by the same wildlife company. I do feel like I missed out a little by not seeing it.

Fantastische plek, ze doen hier echt hun best voor de dieren. Het is goed om te zien dat ze nu op een fijne plek zijn. De gids wist veel te vertellen en de taxi chauffeur was ook erg aardig.

Very informative tour, great to see the elephants up close, yet in an ethical environment. Be aware you have to pay 2500 rupees when you are there.

An amazing and excellent experience. Keeping a respectful distance from these gentle giants, who have been through so much in their lifetimes, we enjoyed every minute of this visit. An absolute honour to be so close, and learn all about them. If I had nothing to do here in the UK, I would be on the next plane back to volunteer!

It was so interesting. SOS are clearly passionate about preserving the elephant for future generations. They are doing excellent work and the resting place for passed animals is very moving. I will follow their progress from now on.
