[@leftinthedryer]

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

[@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.

[@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..

[@debbie995]

Mambo and Sebakwe cuddling! It's just too precious! 😍❤

[@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.💖

[@elephantwanderer6576]

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

[@RylCnxshin]

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

[@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... 😉

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

[@ShedaKhan-m8x]

Wonderful. So hoping you will get rain this week.

[@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.

Our HERD has such a disciplined and beautiful life, indeed! One of the greatest joys in life is seeing an animal happy and content in his/her surroundings. May the rain come soon!

[@herdelephantorphanage]

Thank you, 🌧️🙏.

[@luciennescarano8330]

Majestueux.❤❤

[@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. 🌧️🌿🐘

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. 🌧️👏.

[@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!

Thank you for your kind words, we feel so lucky to work with these amazing animals.

[@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….

[@debers59]

That is beautiful very majestic

[@shirleymorris7760]

I actually feel jealous of their quiet time in the dam today! So peaceful and relaxed. Rain would be wonderful! ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@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.

[@edithmediano8871]

Le bonheur en majesté paisible. Que nous puissions les admirer longtemps !!!!!!

[@herdelephantorphanage]

Here's to many more years of admiring these magnificent creatures in their natural splendor! 🐘❤️

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😂😂❤❤

[@herdelephantorphanage]

The Drakensberg mountains do offer a wonderful backdrop.

[@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 😔 ❤🐘❤🐘❤🐘

Couldn't say it better myself. Thank you for the astute inspirational.

[@lindaclark1406]

I truly love seeing the herd walking straight towards the camera. It’s a powerful scene. ❤

[@herdelephantorphanage]

Thank you.

[@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 ❤🐘

[@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!😊

[@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"🐾💚🐘🍼❤️

[@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.

[@JADPhipps-b9b]

🍉Such a handsome bull Jabulani🍉😁long days of heat, giraffe in background, love watching them cool down😁🍉

[@herdelephantorphanage]

Thanks for watching the video and for your feedback.

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.

Beautiful peaceful video. Thank you❤️

[@stephensfarms7165]

Wow, how did you get that shot, like they were going to walk right over me. Good morning HERD , Ron from Denver. Good morning to you Owen too. We got 6 inches of snow here. Beautiful to see the elephants this morning, thanks. 🙏❤️

[@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!

[@donnahehl9947]

Im so glad all of the animals have some source of water. Have you gotten any rain?

[@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.

[@paolacanali4567]

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.

[@herdelephantorphanage]

It's wonderful to hear your appreciation for Adine and the dedicated carers. Their care ensures that the elephants can enjoy their moments at the waterhole, whether it's for a refreshing bath or a drink. Greetings to you as well from Hoedspruit, South Africa.

Just watched Adine's live broadcast. Grey clouds no rain, sad. Adine getting plenty of exercise,yea. On my end the program listed as children's content with no comment. Still enjoyed it as always. Thanks 🐘😊

[@herdelephantorphanage]

Yes, sorry about the live stream settings🤦‍♀️. We are glad that you still enjoyed, thanks for watching. We are pleased to advise that some rain did eventually fall, we are hoping for much more though.

[@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.

[@davidwood351]

Interesting view of the elephants, tummies.

[@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.

[@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.

[@janparish7895]

Another Superb Video. Seems Zindoga still has Pisa in his sights? 💘 Love George Giraffe strolling by!! Praying for the rains for you all 🌧🌧🌧💚🐘💚

[@herdelephantorphanage]

Thank you, Jan., The Giraffe's graceful stroll added a charming touch to the scene. Let's keep our fingers crossed for more rain to bless the area and support all the wonderful wildlife. 🌧️🦒

[@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. 🐘🦒🌍

[@marjoriehopkins1630]

Sounds like a good life for these beautiful creatures! Mambo is taking on Sebawkwe? Quite the ego there, Mambo! LOL

[@herdelephantorphanage]

They certainly do enjoy their lives, and yes Mambo's got a big personality! 😊

[@BudaKhan420]

1. Need to bet on whether the camera gets kicked or not 2. Amazing camera angle adjustment by the elephants 3. Still looks dry there.

Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for the support.

[@evangeline3152]

I recognized Khanyisa standing over the camera after seeing that belly over Adine so many times. 😂 Beautiful sighting of the giraffe walking behind them in the water. I pray you get that rain.

[@stephenvanwoert2447]

I thought it was Khanyisa, too.

[@herdelephantorphanage]

Khanyisa was not only standing over the mobile, but she also caused it to fall from the spot where it was perched, resulting in the belly video clip.
