Goway Travel has an elephant to name, and the company is seeking help from its travel agent partners.

As part of its ongoing commitment to conservation, Goway will sponsor a young elephant in partnership with Kenya Wildlife Service in 2022. There's just one important thing missing…the elephant has yet to be given a name.

Here's how you can help:

Travel agents who book any Goway Africa trip between July 18 and August 15 will be invited to suggest a name for the elephant. The winning name will earn one lucky agent a free spot on a November 2022 Kenya FAM, with the chance to meet the elephant they named.

The itinerary includes the Masai Mara, Amboseli National Park, Tsavo West National Park, and Nairobi. Up to five additional agents who entered will also have the opportunity to book a spot on the FAM "at a very reasonable price," Goway says.

Kenya is a conservation success story that hosts an estimated 10% of the world's African elephants. Preserving them is an ongoing task requiring commitment, resources, and momentum.

Key issues include combating poaching, minimizing human-elephant conflict, and slowing the effects of climate change. That's why Kenya takes a multi-pronged approach to conservation, in which education, community outreach, and tourism all play key parts. Goway says it is committed to doing its part for Kenya's conservation effort, and is delighted to invite agent partners to join them.

To enter, agents can simply book and deposit any Goway Africa trip between July 18 and August 15, 2022. Eligible agents will then receive an email with an invitation to suggest a name for Goway's elephant. The contest is open to agents in both the United States and Canada.
