 Bupa, An African savanna elephant (Loxodonta africana) at
Colin Tennant in Saint Lucia.🇱🇨
1980: In 1980 John Chipperfield caught Bupa (pronounced “Boopa”), age 4, in Uganda.
 
Bupa was sold to the Dublin Zoo.
3 years later John Chipperfield found Bupa up for sale and notified Colin Tennant (Lord Glenconner, 3rd Baron- close friend of Princess Margaret), as he was looking for publicity for his new business venture on the island of St. Lucia. Colin purchased Bupa and she was moved from Dublin, Ireland to Longleat, England. Then Bupa, was moved to Tilbury docks where she boarded a Geest Banana boat that was headed for Castries, St. Lucia.
 
1993: Bupa died circa Nov/Dec 1993 at the age of 17.
 
While I endeavour to keep the information up to date and correct in this page, I encourage you to do your research on Bupa.

  Known as the Caribbean’s only “drive-in volcano,” the Sulphur Springs are a must-see for anyone visiting the island.
