Unmissable are launching a number of elephant conservation themed incentive travel trips to tie in with the Elephant Parade, the biggest ever public art event hosted in London.

The Elephant Parade, a conservation project run by the charity Elephant Family, aims to draw attention to plight of the Asian elephants who’s numbers have fallen by 70% since 1980.

The 258 fibreglass elephants, which have been individually painted by different artists, are located in London’s many Parks and Squares and the Unmissable sponsored Elephant will be residing in Hyde Park until 30 June when the most ornate 30 will be auctioned.

Unmissable join a host of high profile celebrities backing this worthy project including HRH Prince of Wales, Stephen Fry, Michael Palin and Boris Johnson.

The Unmissable travel trips include an Elephant Bedroom Camp in the Samburu National Reserve in Kenya with a chance to see the elephants up close in their own. The camp employs members of the local community and also contributes to the education of this community.

The Elephant Mahout Project in Thailand launched a programme where you can spend time at the camp learning about the elephants, how to care and look after them and how to be a mahout (elephant trainer). The project raises money for displaced elephants and mahouts to provide food, comfortable and adequate care and medical assistance.

And the Indian Elephant Safari which is a 14 day trip where you will be meeting local people, staying in their villages and getting involved in local community projects and cultural programmes.
