Orphaned elephant Khanyisa opens the orphanage gate all on her own!

The Orphanage gate was mastered with ease as little impatient Khanyisa opens it in a hurry to join the Jabulani Herd!

She was welcomed with trunks of love as usual, but it wasn’t long until the herd started behaving differently and started to surround her. It turns out that they picked up the scent of a pride of lions a couple of kilometres away and were protecting Khanyisa instinctively.

Elephant Manager, Owen Dube, explained that they had received a report of the lions earlier, and the elephant care team changed the plan and direction of their day planned route to go foraging.

Once they settled, they started heading out. There were some beautiful scenes as the sun was continuing to rise and greet the day behind them!
