Orphaned elephant Khanyisa’s morning with the Herd. Herman and Israel help with her bottle.

Relaxed mornings with the Jabulani Herd, as they surround and protect Khanyisa from the moment they leave for their early morning walk at sunrise, to the moment she returns.

For this outing, Herman, Khanyisa’s carer, brought extra milk bottles for her bush milk feeding, and Israel, a senior carer from the Jabulani Herd, joined to assist. It was all very relaxed.

Sebakwe, the dominant and largest bull of the herd, joined Khanyisa and some of the females for a little while, checking up on the little one. Khanyisa spent a lot of time with Timisa, the youngest of the herd, as well as with Kumbura, Bubi and Lundi.

Don’t miss her sweet buoyant run at the end as she nears the orphanage, knowing there will be her next fresh bottle of milk awaiting!
