Set at the tip of a naturally forested peninsula diving into the Nam Tien lake, the Elephant Conservation Center offers a stunning view over the Elephant Mountain (Phou Xang) range on the north east. To the west, the most beautiful sunsets viewed from the gardens or in one of the relaxing bungalows set by the water.
The above film was made to show more depth and other aspects one can find at the Elephant Conservation Center. I used some new techniques like slow motion to enhance the feeling and get closer emotionally to the majestic animals. They can be quite cheeky too as they escaped in the lake and the Mahouts had a hard time getting them back.
The elephants were just playing and enjoying their freedom.
