Khanyisa's first walk with the Jabulani Herd

[@melodiefrances3898]

Knowing what Khanyisa went through, being injured and orphaned (which I can barely stand to think about), and then seeing the herd embrace her ... her tiny pink self amongst the Grey giants ... takes my breath away. ❤

[@CristinaF210]

completely, i often think those nights of her alone after losing her mom and herd, i can barely think about it i MUST stop thinking over thinking i cant take it, i cant imagine her alone at night its beyond me how much evil it takes to do this to a such precious little baby

[@DeathByDrone-ORmk84]

What could be better than having 2 momma's? She hit the jackpot. 3 mom's... actually! And they are ALWAYS happy to have Khanyisa..you can see it in their musth at the temple's! Love them more than life itself!

[@laneybk5919]

She is learning to be elephant! How proud you must be 💛

[@xxmissyxx6604]

The HERD seem to be accepting Khanyisa more each day 🐘❤

[@rennierad]

That was beautiful watching Khanyisa with her own kind and learning so much. ❤

[@dimitria3552]

I cannot thank you enough for the wonderful work you do. I have been following little Khanyisa's journey all the way and your videos always make my day.

[@lindaclark1406]

She was so tiny, but determined to walk with the herd.

[@CristinaF210]

its absolutely precious these videos for me, i cannot beleiev but i think Lundi was lowering a branch with leafs so that Khanyisa could reach and get some to eat but also teaching her how to, i think i saw this and its so sweet so inteligent so amazing elephants are thank you for showing us city people how its done and thank you for your hard work in doing everything to maintain these eleohants happy and healthy i tell you this i started watching this and am now binge watching bc im completely in love with this HERD and everyone involved in it, and totally in love with princess Khanyisa how couldnt I she absolutely precious this sweet adorable baby girl, may all of you have peace love health and HERD to continue forever strong in future to come. Always💖

[@AnnaAnnaTT]

This must have been a great treat for Khanyisa. She was finally with all the "grown ups" to find new things and be surrounded by all their care and protection to find out what the grown up elephants did all day when they were away and where they went when previously she mostly stayed in the orphanage or just went out on short journeys with Adine and some carers . I wonder if she ever remembered her original herd before she was caught in that terrible snare

[@AnimaltestedLoveapproved]

I'm on the verge of tears of joy,...this was her first test so to speak and she and the herd passed with flying colors. She was calm and secure and herd as well . Such a marvelous day!!!❤❤❤❤

[@darlenebarnett8417]

What a beautiful herd of elephants, must be a joy to wake up every day to see them! 🐘❤🐘

[@jolesliewhitten6545]

Caregivers are SO PATIENT! Wonderful people!

[@theresaprice310]

This makes me happy brings me joy these elephants are amazing loving protective sunshine and the herd are bringing us hope and sunshine 🌞 sooo beautiful they’re accepting her into their family great job all of y’all ❤️💕❤️🙏🏾

[@rockyallison6809]

The instinct to surround the baby, facing outward, for protection and to move the leg forward so the baby can suckle is so amazing!

[@brendamcmanus9438]

I’m so, so glad to have watched this video again. Khanyisa is an angel that draws the best out of everyone... Her arrival brought us all together. Throughout this crazy time, the Jabulani family grows stronger, Khanyisa not knowing how much we all have grown, because of her. Thank you Khanyisa for inspiring us all. 🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘

[@pibbie807constantine6]

Yes April 2020. still locked in from covid and this little elephant saved my life and spirit. I forgot how tiny she was! she's a big girl now. watched for daily updates and when Fenya came and left far too soon. but our baby girl has become so big now, and she knows she is loved and cared for the herd has welcomed her in. can't get enough of her progress.

[@lindaclark1406]

She looks so tiny. The adults seem to guide her along. So well protected.

[@michellestratford9753]

Awwww🥰 That was a lot of walking for little legs. So sweet!💗💖

[@lindaj5492]

2:04 Love how Lundi turns to check on Khanyisa; accepting her role immediately as substitute mother.

[@manueltuccillo6433]

I will see every day of this little elephant ❤

[@MatthewFarney]

I'm so happy theres people who truly care and use their resources to help these amazing animals. Very inspiring!

[@veronicaferraro5206]

These videos are priceless!!!! What a great elephant family..the little one is so lucky she has many moms!!!!

[@daffodilunderhill7066]

The elephant instincts kicking in. Beautiful to witness!

[@teresagary7158]

Going back and rewatching these videos, reminds me how much she has learned from being apart of the herd!!

[@herdelephantorphanage]

Absolutely! and in a short space of time too :-)

[@rockyallison6809]

Me too.

[@earthmama5659]

They surrounded her! I’ve learned this is their way of saying SHE IS OURS.♥️

[@thefloridamimi9278]

Gosh…can you just imagine being able to post “I’m heading out to go for a walk with my freaking HERD of ELEPHANTS!” Oh that would be so amazing!

[@Caprica-od6oc]

I've notice from the beginning of the video that herd keep a close eye on Khanyisa, She's never left alone not even from one moment and they all walk with her in the middle. No harm will come with all the adults around surrounding her

[@moonandstars4690]

I love watching this video of sunshine following her mother Lundi💖🐘

[@bohemiangardensandgourdfar8812]

No doubt she was very tired... she has to take 3-4 steps for every 1-2 that the large elephants take and on her first big walk after recovering from a terrible injury... overall I'd say she showed great stamina (even If she did want to fall over once she got home) 💚🐘

[@suziem2963]

The mature elephants are so huge, yet ever so patient and gentle towards the (miniscule) tiny Khanisa

[@katieciccoianni4415]

I love how protective they are of Khanyisa! So beautiful.

[@ShedaKhan-m8x]

Looking back three yrs later, darling little Khanyisa, still as special today.

I just saw this one today and loved it and could see how far she has come since I have been watching for awhile. She is just to adorable and so happy to see there are people like your special group that takes such good care of them.

See. God is with all of you to be able to assist the herd walk and interact with the baby. I respect all of you. Thank you.

What an amazing joy to walk with these magnificent elephants- What a blessing! I can only imagine what it must feel like. They know you so well. They are a gift from God. Thank you for taking us along for your journey. Love from Canada 🍁

[@Kymcook73]

Omg lil Khanisa has grown so much from this day.

[@musiczoneful]

❤️ this makes me happy! Thank you for all you do for them. Is it possible that Lundi could start producing milk?

[@Zendemic42]

They have answered that already, sadly it will not happen because they are all on contraception. However the suckling is important anyway for bonding and comfort!

[@mary-anneswanson1428]

To look back and see our princess as a wee babe again is a treat :) Soon she will be quite the independant young lady . Almost 4 Khanyisa . What a wonderful loving herd she has 2 legged and four , people and lambs included :)

[@Ducksinarow...]

I've noticed in the past one elephant checking behind K"s ears and all her other scars. These Giants have been very gentle, sensitive and by all means PROTECTIVE, Kodak Moments. Thanks for Sharing 🥰

[@josi4251]

Their instincts to guard and protect Khanyisa are just beautiful to witness. This family may not be biologically related, but they are family in the truest sense of the word. That includes the dedicated humans who care for them!

What an absolutely amazing first walk out! I’m pooped for her at the end of the day! Bless her, wobbly legs an’ all. Didn’t she do amazingly well. She followed everything, walked everywhere. Talked to all the ellies. I’m blown away. ❤️🐘❤️

[@veganc5028]

Imagine murdering one of these magnificent earthlings just so someone can buy an ivory chess set or some other useless ivory trinket. These sensitive, loving beings who love their families just like we do. Don't buy anything made from ivory (their tusks)

[@HEWholoves-w1d]

Lundi’s like “watch me forage”, now you do it ! Bubi will need more bana leaves for not foraging to protect baby.Did you bring bottles?

[@jkryanspark]

At the beginning of this video, the elephants along on the walk were listed. I want to see how well I've familiarized myself with all the elephant members of the Jabulani herd by attempting to name those not present. To the best of my memory there's Mambo, Limpopo, and Fishan. Phenabe had yet to arrive at the orphanage and I'm not sure if the precious Fenya had already passed. There's another orphan with a beautiful Afrikaans name who passed unexpectedly. The name escapes me. I also don't know if he had arrived yet at the time of the video. I suspect I've made omissions, but in time, I hope to know all these beautiful beings by name.
