Powerful Elephant Strides and Family Swim Time 🐘

[@denisewalberg5803]

A nice peaceful swim for the Elephants. Then a lone Giraffe just nonchalantly walks by making a cameo appearance. Smile big boy, you’re on candid camera! ❤

[@bellablock5864]

Yep, that Giraffe... 🦒

[@yvonneweavers2092]

Love them.all..

[@leftinthedryer]

That opening sequence as the Ellies pass was incredible!! 😃❤️🤗🥰🐘

[@ShedaKhan-m8x]

Wonderful. So hoping you will get rain this week.

[@annbeirne9583]

Aren't these elephants sensible, keeping cool eating another dip and eating, have more common sense than some humans, we could learn such a lot from these beautiful clever elephants.💖

[@kaylemoine1571]

Boy, I've never seen them move so fast. They had purpose. Love it.

[@inasorensen4452]

We had wonderful rain here in Pretoria !I hope you get your rain soon !

[@Dnvr8083]

🤞🙏

[@kp8381]

Awesome footage of them walking. Our pink princess will always be such a joy to watch. Love this HERD. 🐘❤️🐘❤️🐘❤️🐘❤️

[@herdelephantorphanage]

Khanyisa always brings a smile to our faces, she has a big personality.

[@thetorchyblameseries8100]

Awe-inspiring video, educational visuals, a waiting giraffe, the usual incredible antics of our elephants. Life can't get any better for us other than to try to donate. Thank you for all involved in HERD Elephant Orphanage South Africa.

[@dorothywestcott2408]

I love watching the Jabulani HERD 🐘 enjoying themselves at the dam. Some like to be completely submerged, while others just like to spray themselves. I enjoyed seeing that giraffe 🦒 walk by. I hope you get some rain soon. Have a wonderful day Jabulani HERD family ❤️🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘❤️

[@bellablock5864]

Yes, her majesty the Giraffe... 😉

@ dorothy hi dear friend good comment😊😊😊

[@Dnvr8083]

It was dynamic and energetic, yet relaxing. Beautiful snow-white tusks. Oscars to the cameraman.✌️🙏🍀💖🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘💙🍀💦🌊

[@ladyjustice1474]

They're so quiet when they walk. The watering hole= playtime.😊

[@deborahnorthover5304]

So beautiful to watch, thank you.

[@Maria-ni4rc]

What a lovely life the family has thanks to all of you. Thankfully, there are waterholes to keep the family cool and energized. Praying the rain arrives soon. There's nothing quite like Mother Nature's rainfall to shower the animals and landscape with cleansing and new life emerging...

[@herdelephantorphanage]

Let's hope for more rain to bring much-needed relief and rejuvenation to the land and wildlife. Mother Nature's rainfall is indeed a blessing, bringing new life and vitality to everything it touches. 🌧️🌿🐘

[@elephantwanderer6576]

It's lovely to see them splashing about!!!❤️❤️❤️😃😃😃🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

I could watch that all day. Swimming elephants soothe the soul.

[@bettyfeliciano7322]

Awww it’s so wonderful to see the elephants get wet & wild!! Blessings to all of you! ✝️😊😪

[@gabriellew6467]

When the elephants walk like that I am transported to Disney's Col Hathi's march from the Jungle Book: " Hup, two, three, four, keep it up, two, three, four ....."😊❤

[@barbaratyler2183]

My thoughts exactly…..oh we march from here to there….

[@janetbowersox83]

Ahhhhh....a cool swim to start the day! I so love my morning "fix" with my coffee and the ellies! Thank you as always for the look into their day. Hoping you get rain soon....as you stated for all including the wild animals. Bless all ellies and the caregivers at HERD!

[@herdelephantorphanage]

We agree! Rain is definitely needed, stay cool everyone. Thank you so much for your kind words and support!

[@anitasyvalahti1730]

[@muffassa6739]

😊 good morning from Michigan USA I loved the camera angle and was very impressed 👌 I can't wait for the rainy season to come back. It's so nice to see them have a good time playing in the water 😊

[@ebillie1181]

The runway saunter is so haute. They are beautiful creatures. I see G. Raff side eying for pool time. Continued prayer for rain. 💕🐘🐘

[@herdelephantorphanage]

He was possibly just biding his time so that he could come in for a drink of water. 🌧️👏.

Another wonderful close-up, very creative. The pink princess said, 'haha, look at my butt!' Then at 3:38, the rare African giraffe snake crawls by from the left background.

[@disturbingthepiece2788]

Jabu is a very handsome bull. His tusks seem pearly white.❤️❤️🐘

[@jolandahuisman8007]

What went wrong in the beginning from the walk, they noticed the camera straight away...😬 I was laching about the stick that being throwing in the air 😂 Beautiful peaceful spa day. the giraffe 🦒 passed on probably wanted some drink. Pray this time the rain will come it's so needed 🙏 thank you beautiful Herd love you all ❤🐘

[@JonahzVoice3-4]

A salute 🫡 to the BRAVE person who took this video while standing (or laying down) as the Herd walked over and around them! It's a very interesting perspective of that majestic parade! Loved it! ❤ 😮 ❤

[@herdelephantorphanage]

We are pleased that you enjoyed this angle of the video. Adine placed the camera on a rock to capture the herds' approach, and Khanyisa upon seeing said camera, went to investigate resulting in it falling on the ground capturing this wonderful clip.

[@nenephant4831]

Today's camera day ... Khanyisa mistaken it for a foot ball, Jabulani Throwing stick at it 😏 Ellies having a bath is always a wonderful sight 😍 Occasional giraffe having a look to see if the swimming pool is available 😊 Hoping for rain 😔 ❤🐘❤🐘❤🐘

[@CANM-hv4ki]

It seems Khanyisa exactly knows what she did, and she tried to right the position of the camera, albeit not very successfully. But she stayed while the others walked by, maybe trying to come up with a solution. And those tusks are sparkling white after their swim. The water is really like a playground for them. I enjoy wathing them enjoying their swim. I am happy Kumbura is relaxed and chilling here, and Klaserie is realieving her of allomother duties. She is oftentimes so worried about the youngsters. This is yet another beautiful video today. God Bless Our Jabulani HERD.🙏🐘❤

[@herdelephantorphanage]

Khanyisa's curiosity brought a new perspective to Adine, video clip. Fortunately, the mobile survived her attempt at trying to help with the video. The herds strong social bonds and care for each other are always heartwarming to witness.

[@edithmediano8871]

[@jadezee6316]

such AMAZING animals....

[@patdrake8859]

It is fun watching the elephants in the water. The water did look relaxing. I have been praying for rain as I know all the animals need it for greenery for eating and water to drink and bath in.

[@herdelephantorphanage]

We agree, a good rain would be very welcome!

[@Hope-Lenders]

Oh I hope you get some good rains! Such great views of these beautiful elephants!

[@herdelephantorphanage]

Thank you! It worked because we received some rain.

[@suzannechance5876]

JABULANI is certainly a handsome fellow. I love the sounds of ellies scuffing,soothing. I close my eyes and they sound like whales surfacing for a blow. Everyone of them special!😊

[@Someday-u2e]

Ahhh....the luxurious life of these ellies!!! A cool dip with the mountainous view in the background. Then on to a day of feasting. Jealous😂😂❤❤

The Drakensberg mountains do offer a wonderful backdrop.

It's heartwarming to hear your appreciation for the video and the elephants' playful nature. Your kind words for Adine and the team on the ground are truly touching.

[@anapiresdecarvalho5241]

❤️🍼🐘💚🐾They are M-A-G-N-I-F-I-C-E-N-T! So gentle and careful when they saw the camera. You should watch "Jungle Book" and watch the elite "Ellies' Patrol"🐾💚🐘🍼❤️

Bellissimo video 🎉🎉🎉🎉 gli elefanti sanno godersi il gioco e nello stesso tempo proteggono quelle più giovani da intrusi come i Bufali e gli Hippo ❤ com'è bello guardarli insieme come una grande famiglia 🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@herdelephantorphanage]

Watching them interact as a big family, safeguarding the younger ones from potential threats like buffaloes and hippos, is indeed heartwarming. Their strong social bonds and communal care are a testament to their intelligence and empathy.

[@suzannehouse1172]

They are all so beautiful!! They take my breath away! sending much love to HERD suzanne USA

[@katharinecox5200]

That is awesome footage

[@scottthiele4707]

That was amazing footage by some brave soul filming the herd walking along the road and being right in the middle of these huge elephants. That takes a lot of trust in the herd. Well done to whoever was filming.

[@herdelephantorphanage]

We would like to take all the credit, but we can't. Adine perched the mobile on a rock to capture the herd's approach, Khanyisa saw the phone and knocked it off resulting in the great footage.

[@sharonj.1240]

Big, beautiful bathing beauties. Bobbing about as if they were light as air. Always a favorite scene for me...knowing how much they are enjoying the water. Thankful they have this simple pleasure.

[@jayneterry8701]

I always picture Bubi making a big splash 💦 🐘☺️🩷

[@marie-clauderecchia4531]

It is always a treat to see our favourite Ellies at the waterhole having a nice invigorating well deserve swim What a joy to see the youngsters splashing about Khanyisa and Timisa having great fun with Kumbura next to them Zindoga always trying his luck with Pisa Mambo doubting nothing wants to sparr with big chief Sebakwe Doesn't he knows who he is dealing with ? 😂🤣

[@herdelephantorphanage]

It is indeed a special treat when we get to see them enjoying their time at the waterholes, with all their shenanigans.

Thanks for noticing, we were lucky to capture them in such a magnificent moment, with the help of Khanyisa.

[@WaterfallFW]

I love how I’m watching elephants swim not thinking a thing about it really just observing and in the background a giraffe walks gracefully by. The elephants notice and I’m thinking grab your camera that’s a giraffe! Oh, I’m so used to watching my family here I almost, for a split second, forget how awesome and unique it is to be witnessing them by video swim in South Africa. We’re so lucky!

[@herdelephantorphanage]

It's truly a magical experience to witness such moments! The sight of elephants swimming and a giraffe gracefully walking by in the background is a reminder of the incredible beauty and diversity of wildlife. We are indeed very lucky to have this window into their world. 🐘🦒🌍

[@stephenvanwoert2447]

I thought it was Khanyisa, too.
