Don't want to support places with riding or chaining. Any good ones people recommend?

Look for ones that focus on rescue/rehab and don't offer rides or shows. Some smaller places do good work but hard to know without research. Pinnawala is big and mixed reviews. Better to do proper safari in park and see wild ones instead of captive. That's the most ethical usually.

Yeah wild sightings in parks are better than most 'sanctuaries'. If you want close, research carefully, some are legit but many not.
