Boon Lott’s Elephant Sanctuary (BLES) has long been heralded as an ethical elephant sanctuary since founder Katherine Connor, and her husband Anon (6), provided a home for their first elephant in 2007.
Follow along with one guest who shared (1) his visit to BLES and, decidedly, would love to go back.
BLES lets the elephants be elephants in their sanctuary environment.
It’s the only way for the elephants to heal. And the only type of elephant sanctuary to support.
BLES allows small groups (a total of 10 guests) to observe the elephants by taking walks with them up-close or watching them from a distance (2). Just spending time with them doing what elephants normally do in the wild such as browsing or dusting or playing in a muddy pond accounts for an amazing day!
Boon Lott’s Elephant Sanctuary (BLES) was awarded the 2024 TripAdvisor Travelers’ Choice Award for Excellence.
