Our Nong Khiaw office also provides boat cruises on the Nam Ou and Mekong rivers between Nong Khiaw and Luang Prabang in cooperation with our Luang Prabang office.

Manifa Elephant Camp

A Living Heritage of Elephants and People

Manifa Elephant Camp offers a rare opportunity to connect with Laos’ cultural heritage and majestic elephants in a natural riverside setting just outside Luang Prabang. Since 2009, it has grown from a small local initiative in Ban Xang Hai village to the largest elephant camp in Luang Prabang, caring for elephants within over 100 hectares of forest.

In 2025, we expanded to Kuang Si Waterfalls, where 16,000 hectares of rich forest and flowing water provide an even more abundant environment for elephants. Just as elephants have traditionally been part of the landscape of villages and surrounding forests in Laos, our new camp continues this long-standing pattern, allowing elephants to live in a landscape that reflects both ecological richness and cultural continuity.

Visitors are invited to join experiences rooted in respect—for elephants, for mahouts, and for the land. Whether walking beside elephants, observing their daily lives, riding gently through the forest, or participating in feeding and bathing, you will discover how people and elephants in Laos can live, learn, and thrive together in places where nature and culture are intertwined.

Laos Private Trip

Manifa Travel’s Tailor-made tours offer you the flexibility to choose your own trip in Laos. Although Laos’ tourist destinations are becoming more open to international travelers, many destinations are still difficult to visit on your own. Why not make your trip exciting and unique by inserting a side trip with our experienced guides to meet the Hmong and Khmu people in the mountainous jungles of Laos and experience a homestay in their village into your Southeast Asia itinerary. You can decide how and when to travel, the level of service and the hotel standard. Pack in as many activities and destinations as possible, or incorporate some relaxation and free time to explore on your own terms.
