MyBeastAndI and a new born elephant @ Kafunta Lodge. South Luangwa N.P. Zambia

Kafunta Lodge came highly recommended and so MyBeastAndI thought I would go and have a look. Its on a plain outside South Luangwa National Park in Zambia. Unfortunately it was closed for the weekend but owner TJ Kruger said I was welcome to go and visit.
Whilst there I was lucky to see a herd of breeding elephants with what seems to be quite a new born baby.
Of course I could not resist videoing all the comings and goings as they approached the water hole.
You can actually see how tiny the elephant is when around 0.32 a waterhog just passes in front of her.
She also acts just like the adults flapping her ears, moving from one foot to the other and of course also wanted to join the fun in the muddy water. It gets too much and she tires easily, falling over fatigued but mum comes to the rescue, she gently nudges her with a foot and then pulls her up with her trunk.
It's amazing to see how she keeps up with the herd, always close to mum, pushing her way underneath catching as much shade as she can.
The whole herd protect her.
Wildlife and nature is just so amazing

Kafunta is a fine lodge offering some fine views infront of them and a safari visitor can see some wonderful Luangwa wildlife.This elephant siting is remarkable and elephant are a vital part of Luangwa. ( I've visited 3 times and stayed at Kafunta and their Island camp .We were guided by that fine Zambian Josephat. Viva Africana Loxodanta 🐘..and all other Luangwa and Zambian wildlife Simon Artley,Manchester

Lovely video! Though the trumpeting soundtrack were a bit too much in my opinion. Not that adding sound isn’t a good idea. I would have gone with the low rumbles that elephants often does when they’re content. Just a thought. Thanks for sharing your video!

야유, 콩알만한 아가 코끼리, 위태위태하구나~~

[@hyancarr]

beautiful clip but that post edit sound effect kinda ruins it.

[@Nickwillfixit]

I love elephants but I hate when the sound track is added as the trumpeting doe's not correspond to what we are seeing on the screen please cut the crap, just watching them is good enough for me.

[@kikibigbangfan3540]

Calm down on the trumpeting,b please. It's not necessary.
