English term or phrase: elephant kraal
The elephant kraal of Ayutthaya is an unusual structure that was used during the 16th century Ayutthaya kingdom to entrap wild elephants for the Thai army. In fact, an elephant entrapment ceremony commenced within the kraal, and was attended by the kings of the era. This kraal is the only one left in Thailand.

Estou na dúvida entre "reserva" e "santuário" de elefantes. Obrigada desde já. Ou outra possibilidade.

Explanation:
Vou dar uma sugestão menos glamourosa, mas mais fiel ao termo, IMO:

kraal = an area for animals, surrounded by a fence

kraal = curral:

Não entendo que seja uma área "especial" de proteção, como sugere a palavra "santuário" ou "reserva".

Some words originally came from Portuguese such as sambreel ("umbrella") from the Portuguese sombreiro, kraal ("pen/cattle enclosure") from the Portuguese curral, and mielie ("corn", from milho)
