Description complète

Le premier hôpital pour éléphants d'Inde, et un vrai centre de secours

Wildlife SOS gère l'Elephant Conservation and Care Centre à Churmura, à environ une heure d'Agra, et c'est l'article authentique plutôt qu'un sanctuaire de nom seulement.

Les éléphants qui s'y trouvent viennent de la mendicité organisée, des cirques, du travail dans les mariages et les temples, et des files de promenade touristique. Beaucoup sont arrivés aveugles, avec les pieds brisés, des abcès dus à l'ankush, ou mal nourris. Certains avaient passé des décennies enchaînés.

L'organisation gère aussi sur place le premier hôpital pour éléphants du pays, avec un bassin d'hydrothérapie, une radiographie numérique et une aile de quarantaine.

Ce qu'est une visite

Pas une séance de caresses. Il n'y a ni promenade, ni bain avec les éléphants, ni nourrissage à la main : les animaux sont en convalescence et le protocole de soin passe avant tout.

Ce que vous obtenez à la place, c'est une observation à distance avec un gardien qui explique l'histoire de chaque animal : à quoi il servait, ce qui n'allait pas chez lui à son arrivée, et à quoi a ressemblé son rétablissement. Plusieurs des éléphants ici sont individuellement bien connus en Inde.

Vous verrez aussi tout le travail que cela demande : la préparation de la nourriture, les soins des pieds, l'ampleur même des enclos.

C'est plus calme et plus marquant que les expériences interactives, et la plupart des gens trouvent cela plus émouvant.

Pourquoi c'est important

Les promenades à dos d'éléphant au fort d'Amber et aux monuments d'Agra existent encore. Voir à quoi ressemblent les pieds et la colonne de ces animaux après vingt ans de ce traitement est l'argument le plus convaincant pour ne pas en réserver une, et c'est pourquoi nous n'en vendons pas.

Pratique

Environ une heure de route dans chaque sens et deux heures sur place, avec une voiture privée et un chauffeur.

L'entrée se fait par un billet de soutien par don, payé sur place ; cet argent va aux soins des animaux.

Pas de photos au flash, et suivez exactement les instructions des gardiens.

Inclus

  • Transferts privés (n'importe quel point d'Agra)
  • Bouteille d'eau pour tous les visiteurs

Non inclus

  • Billet d'entrée, 2 500 ₹ par personne. À acheter directement auprès de Wildlife SOS

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.
