Where your $59 goes

The honest breakdown.

We get asked this a lot. Here's the rough split for the standard Sanctuary Morning tier.

Elephant care & fodder
Each elephant eats 200kg of green fodder daily plus fruits, jaggery, vitamins. Your $59 covers about one elephant's breakfast.
40%
Mahout & sanctuary staff
Four mahouts work the morning shift. Your visit funds their wages — significantly higher than the Amer Fort ride rate.
25%
Vet care & rehabilitation
Bi-weekly vet visits, supplements, joint care for elder elephants. Recovery from rescue takes 12-24 months.
15%
Transport & operations
AC car, fuel, driver wages, hotel pickups. Same vehicle used for all tour services.
12%
Insurance & permits
Sanctuary licensing, animal welfare insurance, wildlife department fees, mandatory annual audits.
5%
Our margin
What's left after the above — typically 3%. We don't get rich from elephant tourism. That's the point.
3%
