Adine Visits the Red Elephants of Tsavo National Park in Kenya

[@suzanneflowers2230]

I thank the Lord daily for these folks who serve to protect His beautiful creation.

[@dorothywestcott2408]

Oh Adine what a beautiful experience you had. That small family of elephants 🐘 seemed to be hanging on to every word you were saying to them. I loved it when you rumbled to them and one of them rumbled back to you. How sweet was that. What an amazing experience for you Adine. Thank you for sharing your Kenya experience with us. I can't wait to see part 2. Have a wonderful day Jabulani HERD family ❤️🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘❤️

[@steventrompeter9883]

I've followed Sheldrick for a few years. The joy is when an orphan graduate returns from the wild, too show off her new baby to the keeepers. A recent one brought her third. 🐘😊

[@curious-kat]

It is amazing to watch! There is a real baby boom going on at the moment at SWT. I’m looking forward for Lima Lima’s baby. I hope it will be a happy, healthy baby and mum will be safe too. 💓🐘💓

[@elizabethgibbens]

How amazing and green is the landscape in Tsavo. l love watching the elephants at the end rumbling back to you Adine. God’s creation is wonderful. I pray the land that’s dry and parched gets rain soon for the animals. Thank you for this wonderful adventure.🌿🐘🐘🌴🌳

[@evangeline3152]

That area is so beautiful with the palm trees and mountains and of course the beautiful elephants. It’s wonderful that you got to go on this trip! Thank you for taking us along.

[@janparish7895]

What a great video! Loved the little family at the end; they seemed reluctant to leave, especially when Adine was talking to them. I'm certain they recognised in Adine's voice a kindred spirit. Someone who posed no threat, just love and appreciation. Thank you for sharing this 💚🐘💚🙏🙏

[@francescaa8331]

Wonderful that you could visit these elephants in Kenya. Thank you for sharing this. 💜🐘💜

[@voiciray]

Tsavo, Tsavo, how I love you. One of the places I'd love to visit again and again. So many of my SWT ele ❤️🐘❤️ babies live here and so many have been reintegrated into the wild. So many magical stories of the former orphans bringing back their own wild-born children back to Ithumba and Voi to "show them off" to their former caregivers. Many magical stories of wild-born adult elephants coming there for medical assistance with arrows, apparently because the wild-living ex-orphans told them "this is a place where you will be helped."

[@HEWholoves-w1d]

WOW they do not seem stressed either

[@nenephant4831]

Adine is on holidays, so she visits ellies 😊 Sheldrick Trust is awesome 👏👏👏 ❤🐘❤🐘❤🐘

[@janetbowersox83]

The views with the mountain in the background is stunning! Good shots Adine!

The baby elephants are adorable.😊

[@ebillie1181]

They are beautiful. I pray they always have the water and foliage they need. Is it my imagination...their ears appear to be even larger than our sweet HERDs. Thank you, Adine for showing us the cousins.

[@Alison-du2jf]

Oh to be that close. Love that Adine got a rumble in return as she was talking to the small family of ellies near the end.

[@janetbowersox83]

As usual my morning fix! Coffee and ellies! Sip! What beautiful countryside. What a lovely visit with the elephants!

[@herdelephantorphanage]

The red dust of Tsavo is a beautiful backdrop to these amazing elephants. We hope you enjoyed your cuppa.

[@StephenDouglas-s6j]

You can tell adine as great love for the elephants what a great ambassador for these magnificent animals there's no better sight than a herd of elephants I just love them lot of youngsters in this herd what a fantastic video thank you for sharing it with us

Impossible to grasp the size, beauty and diversity of Africa. That family at the end figuring out Auntie Adine. 🍃🇸🇿🌿🐘🐘🩵🇰🇪

[@herdelephantorphanage]

We are a tad biased, but yes, we agree with you. Africa is truly a continent of wonders. From the vast savannas teeming with wildlife to the lush rainforests and majestic mountains, it's a place of unparalleled beauty and diversity. The rich cultures, languages, and histories of its people add even more depth to its allure.

[@ShedaKhan-m8x]

Went to Kenya many years ago. Voi, Tsavo, Ambaseli, the man-eating lions stories, all bring back so many memories. I read a book about the building of the railway and those lions. Kenya has a special place in my heart. Thanks Adine.

[@herdelephantorphanage]

Thanks for sharing Sheda!

[@nannerz1994]

I grew up in Chicago and I know about those those man eating lions because they are taxidermied and on display in the Field Museum of Natural History. I don't know if it's the old taxidermy or the idea that they are man-eating but they're really creepy.

[@judithhombsch1535]

Thank you for sharing your experience with us. They don't seem to have carers with them. I don't know if it's my imagination but they seemed to be an emptiness about them. Not the same sort of interaction we are used to seeing in our herd.

[@janparish7895]

Hi Judith. Apologies if I'm incorrect but aren't these Elephants wild? They appeared to be a family therefore I wouldn't expect to see carers. The Jabulani Herd are not wild and are used to human interaction. I don't know if Adine visited the Nursery where the orphans each have their own "stable" and are given regular milk feeds by the many carers. 💚🐘🙏

[@allit8472]

The SWT orphans are eventually reintegrated back into the wild. The whole process could take over 10 years, depending on the individual elephants.

[@susanvaughan4210]

Oh Adine, when you rumbled and got sweet rumbles back, my heart was overwhelmed!

[@denisewalberg5803]

The group of Elephants with the two little ones looked really healthy. So darn cute. Are these Elephants protected from poachers & anything else that might be a threat to them ? & if so, who’s protecting them? Speaking of threats Adine, are you going to show us the glimpse you had with “Scar”? ❤

[@debraevans6795]

AMAZING!🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘

[@herdelephantorphanage]

The Sheldrick Wildlife Trust employs anti-poaching teams, aerial surveillance, and community outreach programs to protect elephants in Kenya.

[@Prelooker]

May I envy you, Adine? The work of the Sheldrick Trust is amazing, and you just missed Mweya coming back to the stockades to give birth to her second calf, fathered by another reintegrated orphan! They all came back so her baby girl was born right there and introduced to their former carers! I think the way the rewilded orphans come back to visit their younger friends, introduce their wild offsprings, or ask for help, is a testament to the love and dedication of the Trust's keepers, who devote their life to these elephants just like you and your team. ♥

[@lesleyhook3472]

Hello Adine, In the description, mention is made that the original reason for the trip was to visit the Voi Reintegration unit; I assume this will be part of your studies of looking into reintegrating the herd/part of the herd into the wild? I just read HERD’s blog on this subject and certainly don’t envy you making any decisions that would involve splitting the group up. I wish you the best of luck as indeed it will be nearly impossible to separate your heart from your head 🥹❤️🐘❤️

[@Kosmonooit]

Great connections ... but I am wondering why there seems to be so many orphans in Kenya compared to South Africa?

[@squeaker717]

I don't remember the exact dates but between about 2015 and 2022 there was a huge poaching problem as well as drought years in Kenya. Many of SWT's current orphans resulted from one of these issues.

[@herdelephantorphanage]

While both countries face challenges related to elephant conservation, the combination of poaching history, human-wildlife conflict, and population size likely leads to the higher number of orphans observed in Kenya.

[@elkakruger6714]

It seems to me that those mature elephants have bigger ears than the ones in South Africa also the head construction is a little different, smaller I will say. Am I wrong?? I hope you had a wonderful educated visit (holiday) and that you have find the answers you are looking for. Kenya is beautiful and those guys are doing an amazing job just like you guys. God Bless you all.

That last five minutes of footage with that group of elephants was very interesting. Adine always inclined to try talking to them, regardless gave me the impression they were gathering much information, especially smells and sounds, which may help them remember certain beings they encounter and assess as more or less of a threat for future reference.
