An elephant with his animal tamer
Way Kambas is a national park and also as an elephant training center located in Lampung province, Indonesia. It takes around 3 hours from Bandar Lampung by car. This national park is covering around 1.300 squares kilometers in the north east part of Lampung.  It is not only elephant we can see there but also pigs, rhinoceros, deers and some species of monkeys.
As the elephant training center, Way Kambas provides some cottages for the workers as animal tamer. They live and stay there every time and their job is try to "educate"the elephants in addition to help people or farmers because sometimes local farmer get conflict with the wild elephants. So the trained elephant is the solution to direct wild elephant to leave the farmer area.
