A Peaceful morning walk with Khanyisa, as she bonded with Bubi

Khanyisa had a great night’s sleep with Stavros her carer, ahead of her morning adventures with the herd.

With a routine setting in, she sped off to meet the elephants, but they were still coming, and she looked surprised that they weren’t at the stables. (Though Adine didn’t manage to get that on video!

Khanyisa spent a lot of bonding time with Bubi, both before the walk and during the walk. It was heartwarming. She loves to “drink” from Bubi, as she latches onto her teat easily. As mentioned before, the Jabulani herd cows are not lactating, so the motion is purely for her emotional wellbeing, as we will continue to provide Khanyisa with her milk formula until she is weaned at approximately 4 – 5 years old.

It was great watching Bubi and Khanyisa spent some lengthy quality time together.

Khanyisa’s condition is relatively good, she still has loose stools on occasion throughout the day, but she is drinking well and her spirits are up. We continue to keep a close eye on her.
