The Elephant Havens Orphanage

Located on the banks of the Gomoti River, on the edge of the iconic Okavango Delta, Elephant Havens is Botswana’s first and only elephant orphanage. The sanctuary provides a safe home for orphaned and abandoned elephants, offering expert care and rehabilitation with the ultimate goal of reintroducing them into the wild.

Beyond caring for young elephants, Elephant Havens plays an important role in conservation education, community outreach, and promoting peaceful coexistence between local communities and wildlife. Every visit directly supports the orphanage’s conservation and rehabilitation efforts.
