Khanyisa back with the Jabulani Herd after being unwell

We had such a lovely morning with Khanyisa!

She sped out to meet her elephant family, and many of them were quite curious, smelling her all over her body. Klaserie paid some special attention to her in the stables area before we headed out for a walk.

During the walk, Bubi and Klaserie clear some roots and take the sand in their trunks to blow on themselves, Khanyisa watches and learns with every step.

Khanyisa spent a lot of time with Bubi and Klaserie, and suckled quite a bit from Bubi. Lundi always keeps an eye and moves in from time to time, but she trusts them with Khanyisa completely.

After a couple of hours, we headed back to the stables, and Lundi said her goodbye to Khanyisa alone at the orphanage.

It was evident that the elephants knew she was not well by the continuous sniffing with their trunks around her body and especially where she had the transfusion needles, though we did not get all of that on video.

We are so happy to see her back to her usual self, and we appreciated every special moment watching her with her loving new family together.
