The Amazing Moment Elephant, Lundi Chases Buffalo at the Waterhole & Her Herd Come to Support

Lundi is not happy sharing the waterhole today and takes on the role of dam guardian for her herd. Khanyisa’s surrogate mother and mother to Mambo, Lundi embarks on a solo mission to chase away three buffalo who have wandered down to the dam to drink. Lundi attempts to scare the buffalo off but isn’t fully successful as one buffalo proves stubborn and stands his ground. Lundi’s back-up team move in to offer support and soon even more elephants join in. The buffalo give up and eventually head off, with Pisa offering a strong attack too. Lundi celebrates with a victory dance and trumpet!
(This scene was filmed at one of the dams in our reserve while rangers were visiting with safari guests from Jabulani - whom you can hear in the background.)

... ok, but after you have your drink of water you have to go, ok?

The buffalo seemed quite gentle - as if he wouldn't have minded making a new friend. 😊

Lundi, and her confidence, “ I got this!” Maybe not ? 😂 ❤️🐘❤️

[@lionfan9587]

That was so funny! "What, you aren't afraid of me! Well, I have some friends, we'll see!" Love the HERD!

Looked like Lundi and her cohorts were having a little confab to decide on the next move. Lundi must have said, "I'll handle this!!" Her dance at the end was cute and funny. With all that excitement she should sleep well tonight!😂

I just knew she would win….she had her posse behind her and she really did use just the right approach….gentle persuasion, no fights….an offer they “couldn’t refuse!” 😂

Lundi was like are you kidding me you wanna play? I said to move now Im gonna get backup and we will see how tough you are 😂😂😂😂

[@DiFinni]

That was cute, finally Lundi makes the big move when the herd comes.

It was nice to see Mambo have his mother's back. She's always looking after him.

[@LoJo99]

That was hilarious “Ready, break”😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Fishan stands in the far background on the hill staring intensely at the goings on! He is so majestic.

That buffalo is the equivalent of the drunk joburg boet doing a "you wanna fight bru?" routine

[@rlight7666]

That one must have been the leader of the group. It was cool to see the Buffalo stand his ground allowing him and the others to have a drink as long as possible😀

I love the little leg kick at

[@sharonj.1240]

Oh, to see them all arriving at the waterhole is magic. So beautiful! The poor old buffalo! Hope they were able to stop back later for water. Lundi just wasn't having it today. 😄

😮😮😮lundi was so funny, even the buffalo was laughing 😂😂😂😂

[@CC-xn5xi]

Lundi's victory dance is terrific.

[@deeT02]

Lundi taking charge! 😂 Pisa had to get in on it too. Love the girls!

[@selinesbeau]

Buffalo is just like "Aw c'mon. All I wanna do is get a drink."

It's been so hot, thirst makes them more reluctant to leave.
