🐘 Just 12 days remain to experience The Great Elephant Migration in Boston before the herd departs on September 13.
Now on display in the home city of O.A.T.'s headquarters, this remarkable public art installation tells a story that spans continents. The life-sized elephant sculptures have traveled from city to city, inspiring conversations about wildlife conservation while helping support organizations such as the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust in Nairobi, Kenya.
Many O.A.T. travelers have a special connection to the Trust through an optional early arrival experience in Nairobi, where they can learn about its work rescuing orphaned elephants, protecting wildlife, and supporting local communities.
Our own connection to these elephants began when they were displayed in Newport. Inspired by both the artistry and the mission behind the project, the Alnoba Lewis Family Foundation acquired several of the sculptures, which now reside at Alnoba in New Hampshire, where they continue to inspire visitors and support the Foundation's commitment to education, leadership, conservation, and community impact.
Seeing the herd arrive in Boston feels especially meaningful. These elephants represent more than a stunning work of art. They symbolize the connections between travelers, conservationists, local communities, and wildlife. They also highlight the important work of organizations like the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust, whose conservation efforts many of our travelers witness firsthand in Kenya.
If you're a traveler from New England, or visiting the Boston area before September 13, don't miss the opportunity to experience this inspiring global story up close. 🐘❤️📸
