The Elephant Sanctuary, Animal sanctuary in Hohenwald, Tennessee, United States.

The Elephant Sanctuary is a refuge for retired elephants in Tennessee that spans across a large area. Separate areas accommodate Asian and African elephants, each with heated barns and secure fencing.

The sanctuary was established in 1995 to provide a safe home for retired elephants. Since then, it has grown to become one of the major facilities dedicated to protecting these animals in North America.

The Discovery Center displays exhibits about elephants and their role in nature. Visitors can learn how these animals live in the wild and why protecting them matters.

Access is typically available during specific hours, and direct contact with animals is not permitted to protect their wellbeing. It's important to check the current visiting arrangements before planning your trip.

Special cameras allow visitors to watch the elephants remotely and follow their daily activities. This system connects protection with education and lets people around the world observe the animals.
