Have Trunk Will Travel is a family of people that truly care about the well being of elephants. We are privately funded. The income gen- erated by giving rides, doing shows, special appearances and production work is used to feed and shelter the elephants, maintain the ranch where they live, and provide for their future.

The health and welfare of the elephants must be the major concern for any person wishing to work with elephants. Therefore, a rigorous apprenticeship has been served by all our handlers. They learn proper handling and husbandry including foot and skin care, transport and public safety.
Each elephant has a distinctive personality and responds enthusiastically to a familiar face. While each handler is well acquainted with every elephant each has his or her own personal favorite and develops a special relationship of trust and respect. We are very proud of these elephants and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing and learning from them as much as we do.
