  • TIMISA!
    Over the past month, we have been sharing the stories and unique personality traits of the Jabulani elephants.
    We are running a competition to win a three-night stay at Jabulani for two people sharing, to qualify, you have to foster one of the Jabulani elephants, with all proceeds going to towards the ongoing costs of their elephant care during the halt of tourism due to Covid-19.
    jabulanisafari.com/fostering/...
    Timisa is an orphaned elephant that was rescued in November 2016 by the Elephants Alive team. Michelle, who heads up Elephant Alive, named her Timisa, meaning Courageous. She was accepted gracefully into the Jabulani Herd.
    We estimate that she was born in mid-2015, making her only five years old now and recognisable as the shortest and smallest of the elephants (unless Khanyisa is among them).
    Timisa's mother, unfortunately, died as a result of a severe drought. Tokwe, the Jabulani herd matriarch, took the orphaned calf under her trunk and became her adoptive mother. With Tokwe's guidance, Timisa has settled in naturally and beautifully with the herd.
    Fishan was the first to show his acceptance of Timisa, followed by Tokwe, who had to leave Pisa, her last born daughter, to tend to Timisa. After that, the whole herd participated, and Pisa took it very well. Timisa has bonded very well with Pisa and Kumbura.
    Physical traits:
    Timisa was very weak when she first arrived, but in time, her health improved dramatically, and she gained good weight and showed healthy skin definition. She has only tiny tusks, which continue to grow slowly.
    Personality:
    Timisa started as quite a fussy eater when she joined the herd, but this has improved. She loves a treat (or ten!) and is always on the lookout for the next nibble. She certainly has a very healthy appetite, which we are happy to see as she goes about foraging in the bush with her new family.
    FOSTER LITTLE ORPHAN TIMISA ❤️

    Aw Timisa is so pretty! This is the most wonderful elephant herd ever, for accepting little orphans as their own.
    There's something so endearing about little baby elephants wearing blankets like super-hero capes :)
