Elephants know how to splish, splash, splosh! On a number of days this month there has been something of a pool party atmosphere at the Ithumba mud bath. With the orphan herd enjoying plenty of interactions with visiting ex orphans and wild elephants alike. A mixture of hero worshipping and attentive learning can be witnessed as these times, as the Keeper-dependent orphans pay close attention to the behaviours of the older elephants. These wild encounters offer critical life lessons for the orph

Elephant hugs all round! Perhaps one of the most important things we offer orphaned elephants as they grow up in our care, after nutritious milk, is a sense of family.

Few creatures have a greater or more positive impact on the planet than the elephant. Simply by existing, they support all forms of life in a myriad of ways.

Precious little stirs the soul more than a herd of elephants. As if we needed more of a reason to protect the species, without them, our world wouldn’t just feel differently but Africa would look and sound a whole lot different too. That’s because, as a keystone species, elephant’s very presence shapes the landscape and ecosystem they live in. Whether its digging for water with their tusks in the dry season, creating water sources for other animals or dispersing plant seeds through their dung -
