Elephant Lessons with Carer Blessmore & the Jabulani Herd

Celebrate World Tourism Day by going on a safari with us! Jabulani guests have the opportunity to watch the Jabulani elephant herd as they go for their afternoon swim. While the elephants swim, splash around, and play in the water, one of the elephant carers comes over to tell the guests about the herd and the elephant species.
Today, we listen to Blessmore as he shares all kinds of fascinating facts and funny stories. Sit back, relax, and join us in the African wilderness 🌍

I have been working with these elephants for a decade & have done probably 500 elephant swims. My jaw was dropped in awe with Blessmore's knowledge.

[@DianaBamaRN]

I adore elephants. I love being educated about them, over and over. I never get tired of hearing about them. Blessmore, your passion and heart for these beautiful elephants shows in all you do and say. Please never stop educating anyone who will listen. The more someone knows about them, I believe the more they will be admired, hopefully loved and even more importantly protected!

[@mortalclown3812]

Wow this was so interesting! Mini documentary ❤ The depth of his wisdom combined with his great heart for elephants is beautiful to witness. Thank you, Blessmore. (Thou art aptly named.)

[@lynnell5993]

Well done Blessmore. I'm going to remember about the earthquake info and follow the Ellies

[@sharonj.1240]

Amazing listening to Blessmore. What a wonderful gift to have someone who knows so much about these beautiful elephants.

[@beatrixjansen6297]

Thank you carer Blessmore for a very interesting account about elephants.. I've learned a lot about these magnificent ,beautiful, intelligent animals.🥰🥰🥰

[@anneterry3660]

Thank you Blessmore--so interesting, learning elephants use their trunk to "see".

[@debraevans6795]

THANK YOU BLESSMORE FOR YOUR KNOWLEDGE AND LOVE FOR THE HERD ELEPHANTS. VERY INTERESTING TO LEARN ABOUT ALL OF THEM! SENDING BLESSINGS AND LOVE FROM CLEVELAND OHIO USA! 🐘🦏🦒🦓🐾❤

[@lynne0410]

Wow Blessmore that was BRILLIANT thanks

[@rennierad]

What great information he was giving us. I wish the video was longer. ❤💕

[@gr8fuldeb699]

That was a great video. Very knowledgeable. Thank you for sharing all that information. The entire video I am smiling I realize. I hope one day I can be sitting with Blessmore and hearing him tell me in person.

[@deborjhablackwell6162]

This is the most informative educational conversation I have seen on both HERD and Jabulani. Blessmore couches his lessons in terms that are easily understood and, quite frankly, fun to learn. He is clearly a born teacher. Not all have this gift. Thank you so much for this!!!!!! 🙏🏾

[@camelotcat6794]

Very informative today! 🇺🇸👍

[@marpro765]

The giraffe in the background is magnificent. ❤ Great photography today. Thank you to Blessmore.

[@slomo1716]

Third time watching this video, absolutely LOVE hearing Blessmore sharing his knowledge of Elephants! Another GREAT CARERS at HERD or in this case the tour guide for Jabulani Safari! THANK YOU ADINE AND HERD AND JABULANI SAFARI for sharing you wonderful carers with us. God Bless BLESSMORE and every one of you!🐘

[@user-ld4uj2ru4p]

Thank you so true 😊😅🎉😂❤

[@barbarap5278]

Thank you Blessmore that all the great info you gave on the ellies...! They really had a good spa day!

[@jknetsYT]

What a great video. So educational. Thank you so much for caring for these beautiful elephants and teaching us and educating us. 🙏❤️

[@Claire11elliott]

Excellent job, Blessmore!

[@ElizabethT45]

I didn't know about the sensitivity of their front feet, or that they only digest 40% of their food. No wonder Khanyisa needs so many milk bottles. Blessmore did a nice job explaining elephant biology and habits. Thanks!

[@Beruthiel45]

Thank you Blessmore, for such interesting and useful information, about our beloved Herd. What a pleasure to watch the elephants enjoying life and hearing you speak of your knowledge. It shows in your enthusiasm how much you care for them. 😊👍💖🐘💕

[@lincolnsmom5074]

This is one of the best videos ever. I learned so much and would enjoy more of this type of video. Carer Blessmore is a great teacher and very knowledgeable. Thank you so much

[@mortalclown3812]

I've shared it with a few folks already. So much I didn't know. ❤

[@judycook4314]

What a treat this is! I just found this today.

[@jamesfreeman2258]

So much information about elephants. But knowledge is also from seeing, and in this video many things about elephants can be taught. For me it is their easy going way with each other and their surroindings that is a defining quality of theirs. Mellow always, but always aware of everything.

[@shirleymorris7760]

That was fascinating, Blessmore. Thank you so much!❤

[@patriciamaclennan5634]

Thank you Blessmore for your knowledge, I found that really interesting and informative. 💙🩵 🐘🐘🐘🐘💟💝

Great education! Thank you 🙏 💚🐘

[@sharonott7513]

This was a very informative video. I could watch elephant videos every day. The carers are extremely knowledgeable about these beautiful animals.

Thankyou Blessmore I learnt so much from you about elephants, It was so interesting.😊

[@TheraP2014]

I would've paid to see Zindoga born in the stables. Btw, nice to see the handsome Somopane.

[@cattailer1077]

LoL! Nice of that ellie to come out of the water and not pee in the pool! 😉

[@Dnvr8083]

😄😅

[@DianaBamaRN]

My exact thoughts when I saw her doing that. Very well mannered Lundi!

[@kathleenjordan9404]

Absolutely amazing and beautiful video with a wealth of information ~ thank you so much Blessmore! I know your guests were soaking that up; I sure was!🧡🐘🐘🐘🐘

[@susanfeneley]

@Kathleenjordan9404 Yes, indeed!🐘🦒🦋🕊⛈️🇺🇲

[@carolinamoreno7372]

Blessmore, thank you for this great video. It was nice to see you explaining the HERD's love of water to the guests of Jabulani Lodge. I bet they were fascinated by seeing them swim so enthusiastically~

[@evelyne7071]

Some really good elephant facts here….Very good!

[@brendatenorio5721]

Thank you Blessmore and Jabulani, that lesson was terrific! You helped us see, hear and smell the waterhole! Did Giraffes comes back to drink water?

[@dorothywestcott2408]

Thank you Ruan for this awesome Video. Thank Blessmore for your wisdom and knowledge about these magnificent elephants 🐘. Also thank you for being a part of their family. They know they can trust all of you carers. You are such a wealth of knowledge. Have a great day. ❤️🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘❤️

[@marie-clauderecchia4531]

So interesting Thanks a million Blessmore specially the description of mischevious Mambo, water lover Sebakwe and wonderful Matriarch Tokwe ❤🐘❤️

[@soniadowney7427]

Wow this was so informative..I learned so much 👏👏👏👏 imagine having a baby in the stables and nobody knew she was pregnant. What a shock that must have been

[@susanfeneley]

@Nietzsky I saw your message today (10-17-23), with HERD video showing the link to this channel, and I'm so very happy I checked it out! Many thanks!! 🐘👍🦋🕊🫡⛈️🇺🇲

[@SkeensFamilyUSA]

Very interesting information about how they make their blood in the skull, and they don’t have bone marrow.

[@maryberkey3760]

You are so welcome.

[@vivianaiacomelli3080]

Istruttive spiegazioni date dal carer Blessmore avrei voluto essere lì e guardare il gruppo di Herd che sguazzava nell'acqua.

[@shannondominguez9725]

Thank you Blessmore for sharing your knowledge of this very special herd mischievous Mambo the wild child always puts a smile on my face. Maybe one day I’ll be lucky enough to see him & his family in person what a truly magical & unforgettable experience it would be.🫶✨🐘💦

[@janparish7895]

Wouldn't it just? 💙🐘❤️☺️🙏

[@deeT02]

[@Jabulani]

That is great to know, thanks for the feedback.

[@brendatenorio5721]

Excellent presentation!

[@AnimalBirdFriends]

Thanks for sharing. There are about 80 Asian Elephants at pinnawala elephant orphanage in Sri Lanka.

[@earthmama5659]

Elephant dung is extremely fertile! Makes everything grow!

It’s so nice to see the HERD in a different perspective… Would love to come visit one day … ✨✨🐘🐘🐘🐘✨✨-🧚🏾‍♀️🙌🏽💖🕯️💫

[@Jabulani]

We would love to host you at the lodge.

[@tinak7815]

@@Jabulani 🥰🥰🥰🥰 … it’s on my wish list. It would be a Blessing to meet all of you, especially the Ellies

[@anaelena2104]

Blessmore doesn't t know it but he could write a book titled Elephant Stories

[@barbarachambers7974]

Sebakwe = drunken father... 😅😅

[@forkrunner2313]

Mambo isn’t one of the ‘funny characters’, very sweet of u to say Blessmore-he’s really a little brat! lol
