- Go walking with the herd as Khanyisa leads, with allomothers Kumbura and Klaserie following after her. Enjoy some time with all the members in the herd, from the smallest to the biggest. Dust baths, bush foraging, ear flapping… it’s a beautiful day in the home of the elephants.
You can see how much TLC the areas of the reserve where the elephants walk the most need. This is the mission of our land project, which we’re dedicating Monday 12 September’s Little by Little campaign to. Restoring their land is vital for their survival and that of all the wildlife sharing the reserve with the elephants!

I enjoy this herd so much. The caretakers of this herd are a great bunch of people that are helpful in understanding these beautiful creatures. Keep up the great work you do.
I love when you all tell about all the elephants, and how they are doing. It help me to get to know them.
Poconos USA.
Look at our baby K taking the lead. Her family loves her so much.
I feel like I'm walking right with you. Wish I were. Thank you for this beautiful ,informative video 🐘 ❤️ .
Two unwavering facts about the JABULANI herd. They all adore Khanyisa & they all adore momma Adine. They show such respect for both of them in the bush. 🐘🙋🏼♀️❤️🇺🇸
She’s getting so big! I love this channel! Seeing the herd and Khanyisa,makes me happy.
Thankyou for sharing.
When Khanyisa comes to Adine she purrs like a cat.
That is priceless!
Si Erik è verissimo, Adine è la sua cara mamma umana e si amano tantissimo.
Adine rumbles💕
Hi khanisa ❤️ hi all of you 🍀 always an absolute pleasure to see you all 👍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
They are magnificent, intelligent and kind. I love them all. Best wishes to you all in your wonderful work from the UK.
Would love a day walking with these beautiful beings 💕🏴
3:18 those eyelashes! She's rivalling Bubi for most beautiful lashes
Khanisa likes to greet Adine and the formidables careers ❤️👍
That is so sweet to see the little one leading all the adults 😀
It's so good to see this care for these noble Animal Beings, and it's so sad to see what degraded land they are having to live with, when wondering through huge forests would surely be their preference.
There's something majestic about a herd of ellies walking. Large and in charge. I admire the ellies as they are extremely protective of each other. Awesome 💞
Hello beautiful Herd!🥰
Such a lovely sweet herd family. They’re my meditation for the day when they are grazing and swimming and entertainment in the exciting times.❤️🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘❤️
What a beautiful walk . Thank you HERD
Sure seemed like a wonderful morning walk with the elephants which is so awesome to see.❤️🥰🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘. It always warms my heart when o get to see that as soon as the elephants see Adine, they come right up to her and greet her all the time.🥰👍🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘. That to me shows that they absolutely appreciate hr and very much love her too and that for me is just the utmost honor and respect that an elephant can ever give to a human.❤️🥰🐘👍 I do have to say that they all surly look quite happy and look very good too. Especially sweet Fishon.❤️ I also just love how they all do listen to command too from the Carers and also Adine too. Now maybe not all of them will sometimes because I have seen some like to go their own way (like Miss Pinky 😊❤️🐘) But for the most part they all are very good at respecting the humans who care for them. I do love watching th she kinda of videos and also, I continue to get an education too as to who is who because I have yet to figure out who is who with the elephants except Klaseri and Khanyisa whom I don’t forget who they are.🥰❤️🐘🐘. I do hope that you had a great day and that you have an awesome and blessed night and I send you all and the elephants too hugs, love, and many of God’s continued blessings too. Love you all! Sue M.(Florida, USA)❤️🙏🏻🥰😘😊🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🌸🌼🌲🌳🌴🌱🌿🍀❌⭕️❌⭕️
It’s a true testament that there’s still good people in that part of the world. Khanyisa has come a long way from the trap to where she is now. Thank you for all that your team does for these magnificent creatures. God bless
Good morning Herd, Good morning Sunshine ,Good morning Adine and carers,again what a Joy to see the walk of this Gorgeous herd and how they enjoy it 😍❤️🥰🐘🥰❤️ Thank you all so much you are Amazing ❤️🥰🐘🥰❤️
Every day is a wonderful new adventure with all the elephants. I love watching them amble slowly along. And, I love seeing their skin up close. Those rumbles just make you feel happy. "Hello, all."
What a wealth of videos the last few days! Always love spending time with the herd and their human friends. Bubi and Lundi, followed by Fishan were the elephants I learned to recognize first. And of course Khanyisa. Nice day out in the bush. ❤️❤️❤️🇨🇦
Yes for me too! They were the easiest with their unique tusks, ears and sadly injury. But I can now ID so many more with great confidence thanks in part to many of the HERDs identifying videos!
@@DianaBamaRN 👍 I still struggle sometimes except with the obvious Ellies like Tokwe, Timi, Piza, Mambo…but love them just the same!
She is still amazingly sweet and beautiful. Love hearing the purrs and rumbles. ❤️💕💗
Good video
I agree they are all special 💖🤣💖
A perfect walk in the wild with beautiful Braveheart and her family of course devoted loving Kumbura is her constant shadow she just adores her baby girl. I love how Adine pauses on Tokwe for a moment giving us all a view of the magnificent matriarch in all her glory she truly is the epitome of wisdom kindness and leadership just absolutely breathtaking.Thank you for taking us along on this adventure with the herd it makes me feel like I’m there with you walking among the giants and the closeups of Meisekind with her perfect blue eyes are precious they seem to look right into your heart. Adine is absolutely right each one of the elephants is unique and special in their own beautiful way thank you for always taking time to share them with us.🐘🐘❤️❤️
😊🤗
Well said and exactly what I think as well.
Grazie cara Shannonche mi illumini e mostri la tua conoscenza...!
Wonderful to watch them walk around chewing the grass and biting the crunchy branches. I would to with them 😍🐘🐘just a beautiful and amazing sunrise. Everyone have a bless and safe day/night. Hugs and Prayers to you all.😍😍😃🐘🐘
Good morning to everyone at HERD. I truly enjoyed your walk in the bush today. I always feel like I am right there with all of you. This is truly my happy place. Khaynisa 🐘 is so loved by the Jabulani HERD as most of the females take turns keeping an eye 👁️ on our sweet little meisekind 🐘. Thank you Adine for another relaxing video. Have a wonderful day ❤️🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘❤️
I always look forward to reading your wonderful comments Dorothy, as I always count 16 x 🐘. 1 x 🐘 for every member of the herd. No one left behind. It’s very heartwarming. 🤗
@@banjemine4150 I always try and acknowledge each elephant 🐘. Now that I was there last year I feel very close to the whole HERD.
@@dorothywestcott2408 Oh that is wonderful to have seen them in person😊
It is my happy place too...watch for a new video every day. 🏴
@@Elizabeth-iw3wd such a sight to witness. Truly amazing ❤️🐘❤️
To be walking by them must be an awesome experience and knowing they love you also 💞💞💞💞💞
Anyone else think Bubi and Timisa could be mother and daughter? They both have those beautiful doe eyes and chubby face I think they look so much alike. These animals are so beautiful and each personality shines through the more you watch these videos. Thankyou for these wonderful videos.
awesome , you deserve so more subs ♥
Good Morning Khanyisa and her Carer and Adine, from Liz in Cornwall England
Time fades away when I watch Khanyisa and the herd. 🐘🤍
Фишан - такая мощь и Канизочка с очень красивым хвостиком...
Awesome video as always Adine!! Question, people please be nice as I'm honestly curious. Couldn't HERD do controlled burns? I mean, little sections at a time? We have all seen the land that has burned, it comes back up bright green and full of beautiful greenery. They could somehow close off the sections so the wildlife wouldn't get in and burn their feet. Just thinking of ways to bring the greenery back. Adine you are a perfect back walker!!! I know I would've ended up fanny planting several times!! 😂😂🐘🐘🐘💖❤️💝
our little girl is growing up. shes getting so big.
Look at our girl go!🥰 After a few days of deep sorrow following the death of my beloved Queen, I cannot tell you how wonderful it is to have this video today. Brought a much needed smile and so much joy. Thank you💖
May she now RIP with her beloved Phillip. ❤️🇬🇧❤️
Sono italiana ma ho sempre amato la regina ,l'ho nel 🧡
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️all these beauty’s xo🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I have been away, and missed the peace that comes over me walking thru the bush with the herd...the soft scuff of their feet, the rumbles. Thank you Adine.
Bien por Tí pequeña Elefantita KHANYISA 🐘 estás demostrando que eres una Líder pero tu trabajo es arduo así que debes entregar el liderato porque Mamá Humana ADINE te elogia eres una bebé elefantita 🐘 muy protegida por toda la manada de elefantes de JABULANI
Para ustedes allá en SurAfrica 🇿🇦 un saludo cordial desde La República de Colombia 🇨🇴 en Suramérica 🙏
Haha~ Khanyisa is a little cute leader~ awesome~💞
Thank you for sharing this video~🤗
Is there a way to just look at an elephant and know how old they are ?
They say yes. There have been some videos on TH-cam about that and maybe check HERDs blogs. Also the Amboseli Trust has a video about it. You can tell age but body size, the depth of the temporal area on the sides of the forehead area, tusk length, skin condition and several other factors.
Thank you. My comment for the youtube algorithms. 💚💚💚💚
Good morning herd Elephant group, how much grass does an elephant eat in a day? And how much grass does Khanisa eat besides milk? 💕🐘
Morning Sunshine 🌞🥰💞
Congratulations on 75,000 subscribers! I like the longer vids cause then sometimes you see interactions never seen before.
I find it remarkable that Asian elephants have much smaller ears, where at the same time they have te same purpose, cooling their bodies. Do the elephants recognise their name? It is also remarkable that everybody listens as the herd are going to have a swim!
💚💙☀🐘🐘🐘☀💙💚
How long are the ellie’s out and about during the day? About how many miles do they walk?
From all the videos I can say from sunrise to sunset. All the hours in the day. That length of time would vary from season to season!
Once darkness starts to fall they are secured behind the protective electrical fence system in the stable/orphanage areas. Which gives them much needed protection from other wildlife. They have had recent “visitors” up to the fence line of some perhaps not so well meaning leopards, occasional lions and cheetahs. Plus other less so intimidating buffalo etc. so the fences are definitely needed. The herd become unsettled during these visits for sure.
Khanisanysa,bought me through deep bought of depression. I found you after my husband passed on . SHE has bought many.smiles to my face when caring such sadness in NY heart . Thank You heard for all the videos . I will be three years on the 26th and you've made my heart ❤ vary happy . Happy Birthday little Sunshine I know it's coming soon . Love you & the heard
What a treat to have everyone close by each other. I missed Jabu. It was funny when you told Sebakwe to go to the dam and he blew and shook his head! I just love this family! 😍🇺🇸
Hey Mambo, Mambo Africano.
LOL ☺
It seems Khanyisa now spends very little time with Lundi. Is this true? Or does it just seem that way from the brief moments we see in videos.
Lovely day out with the Jabulani herd 🥰❤🙏🐘
❤👍🤗🌻🇺🇸
She is such a young happy leader!👍💪💗
How much pain do you think Fishan is in? 😢
In summer he walks with ease and swims happily. In winter he is a bit stiffer but does not display a lot of pain. With the anti inflammatory medication we give him we believe he is comfortable. Our vets check up on him to ensure his comfort from time to time and are very happy with his progress
@@herdelephantorphanage I love him!
He's such a tough good hearted soul!
Thank you for the love you give them all!💗🙏👍
@@herdelephantorphanage
I bet being in the water is therapeutic for him and FUN😁
@@herdelephantorphanage grazie infinite delle vostre preziose informazioni e buon sabato dall'Italia
wonderful !!! so peaceful !! serenity !! Kumbura always very protective ! keeping an eye on Khanyisa as soon as she is alone !!!
So peaceful view. All together. Thank you for the beautiful video🤩❤🐘🐘🐘🐘.
Much admiration for Adine. She finds time from a busy administrative role to spend time with the beloved Herd. Always hands on. What a lovely person she is. Beautiful and strong in spirit just like the ellies. Wishing Adine a long and healthy life. ❤
How many elephants do you have and how do you protect them at night, I love watching your videos from America
I can answer that for you. Including Khanyisa there are 16 now. They are well protected at night by high electrical fences all around and in the stables and orphanage areas. They return to their stables by sunset every night and are safe inside them.
Best channel on TH-cam. I learn so much from these videos... and my heart is mighty full.
May I please ask if they know the names you've given them? I'm sure some do. Just curious. Love to you all.💫🐘🌍💙🙏💫
Yes they respond to their names and understand when they’re being spoken to elephants are incredibly intelligent creatures with the ability to recognize and remember places,people and of course other family members going back decades prior.
You said it right Adine', they're all Special in their own way !! ... A well balanced Herd 💕 * , love learning about them. As a child ,always had an attraction to these Magnificent Creatures ....
I love the greeting rumbles and how confident Khanyisa is growing! Always excited to see her human mom 🥰🐘🧡
Such a peaceful video.
Beautiful sight!
Hello Adine, I always love your beautiful & intelligent elephants including little Khanyisa. 😊💜🌸🐘 Little Khanyisa is so adorable, sweet & beautiful. 💜
Love these videos that allow us to get to know the individuals in the herd. ❤ Thank you!
Thanks for looking after these magnificent creatures
🕊🇺🇲💕
Boss lady! Sunshine leads the herd!
I LOVE ALL THE ELLIES BUT FISHAN HAS MY HEART. HE IS SO WONDERFUL
Adine merits a Nobel!
I am sorry to say I don’t always know who is rumbling; sometimes I think it’s Adine, sometimes an elephant and I don’t know if I am right or not!
😂😂 our team have the same issue
Thank you!
Little Khanyisa leading her herd with such confidence! Well done sweetie!
Thanks!
I'm surprised the bulls don't wander farther from the herd. Don't they usually stay independent of the females, the cows?
That sounded like an air force jet in the background, but I thought that the military part of the airport had closed...
She now seems to outmass a fully grown grizzly bear :)
They favor turtles without a shell 😂❤
Which was your very 1st rescue and how did you get into it
Hopefully HERD will see your question and give you a fuller and more extensive answer, but this is the story as I know it. I believe Jabulani was the original rescued baby, taken in by Adine's mom some 20something years ago. Unfortunately the wild herd didn't accept him, and knowing he needed a herd to live in and thrive, she rescued the rest of this herd from Zimbabwe where they were going to be culled due to land reforms, and brought them to South Africa. Limpopo, Pisa, Zindoga, Mambo and Klaserie were born here in SA into the herd, Kumbura was rescued from in or near Botswana after being orphaned and Timisa joined them after losing her mother also. Khanyisa is the latest member to be accepted into the herd after she was found caught and badly injured by a poacher's snare. They are a very unique herd in that they willingly accept and adopt outsiders into their family. Adine's mom, Lente started rescuing and protecting cheetahs at HESC which she founded and which still does incredible work in cheetah conservation, as well as caring for other orphans including rhinos, (baby Thaba was recently rescued by them). The nursery at HERD was built because Adine realised the orphan elephants needed to be raised alongside the Jabulani herd in order to give them the best chance of being integrated. (Previously they were cared for at HESC) Khanyisa and Fenya were the first elephant orphans to live at HERD nursery. Sadly Fenya's injuries and the ordeal she endured were too severe for her to survive and she passed away. She is commemorated with a tree they planted in her memory (which Khanyisa tried to eat every time she passes it! 😄) PS forgot to add that Jabulani was successfully integrated into this herd when they arrived in SA and it is named the Jabulani Herd after him. He was also the first elephant to befriend and spend time with Khanyisa through the fence when she first arrived as a tiny baby. He was also the first elephant she was physically introduced to and the first to accept her. He is also very close to orphan Timisa and often helps the females in watching over and protecting the little ones.
Excellent and thank you for that Alison!!
@@alison__16 wow you did great explaining it so well. I don’t think I could have answered it so succinctly!
@@alison__16 you did an excellent job explaining. Great recap. I’m only looking at the video and comments now. I do believe you’re amongst the first set of viewers like myself and quite a number of others. I’ve learnt so much from HERD, ENP, SWT just to name a few. Khanyisa inspires me everyday to do more. God bless! Have a great weekend!
Do you have any breeding cows?
They are all special, in their own way. ❤
I meant pressure sore
How many elephants are in the herd? I'm full of questions this morning, sorry.
There are 16 members of the herd Lori. 🐘
Cows:
- Tokwe (matriarch, second oldest female in the herd) and her two daughters Limpopo (eldest and first one born in the herd) and Pisa
- Lundi, and her son Mambo
- Bubi, and her son Zindoga
- Setombe (oldest and biggest female in herd), and her daughter Klaserie
- rescued orphans Kumbura, Timisa and of course little Khanyisa
- not to mention beautiful Fenya, who sadly passed away 18 months ago due to her horrific injuries but will forever remain in all our hearts
Bulls (based on dominance):
- Sebakwe (dominant, biggest and oldest elephant in the herd)
- Jabulani (first orphan rescued by Adine’s mother)
- Fishan
- Somopane (Adine mentioned previously that he’s the smartest of them all)
I hope I got that right! It would be an honor to one day visit Adine’s Jabulani safari lodge in South Africa and give all of them a big hug.
Aaa
Hi there hoping all is well ... just a question i often see them throwing dirt all over them selves with there trunks... is that to help cool them down from the sun ?
Also it acts as a sun screen and it traps the pesky insects 🐞 🕷 🐜 in their crevices.
I am worried about Fishen right leg. Is he okay now?
Yes Fish is ok the winter season is harder on him because the cold increases his stiffness/pain in that leg but the team watches him closely and supplies him with a regular dose of anti inflammatory/pain management meds until the weather warms up. Unfortunately as a result of that injury Fishan will deal increased with pain each winter for the rest of his life it’s just something that comes with the territory but he really has adapted well to his circumstances,from my own experience I have somewhat of an idea of what he copes with. I have chronic pain/arthritis myself(since a young teenager)and I’ve also had to deal with pressure sores as well. Both of these things can be managed carefully in whatever the team finds best works for Fishan to give him a great quality of life (each individual is different so not everyone requires the same level of treatment)Spring and summer definitely makes things easier on him and it’s also great that he loves the water so much as going swimming really helps take the weight/pressure of that joint and helps increase his mobility it works the same way for people like myself to go for a swim when we have to manage our arthritis, chronic pain and in my case a lifelong condition which affects my muscles coordination and ability to move long distances being in the water is fantastic therapy.❤️❤️
Which allomother let Khanyisa nurse from her when she first joined the herd?
Tokwe Bubi and of course Lundi were the 3 main ones Braveheart suckled from in the early days although Limpopo would try and get her to do it but sh wasn’t experienced enough(there’s many videos in the playlist from 2 years ago where you can see footage of her reaching for/suckling from the teat)Of course doing this was solely a form of comfort for Khanyisa and a way to help her bond with the females/make her feel safe bc none of the cows produce milk. Sunshine has since stopped suckling from her allomothers.
Is any program in African to plant tree .look quiet dry
Yes the HERD have a fundraising campaign starting today the plant trees on the reserve, the is a link to the fundraiser on the community page today.
Do all of these elephants sleep in the facility that Khanysia sleeps in or do they stay out in the wild all nite?
They have a stable right next to Khanyisa’s nursery home. It is well protected just as hers is, with electrical fencing and they happily and willingly walk into every sunset so they are safe as darkness falls. Not leaving until sunrise. There are sufficiently large spaces enough that they can walk about to stretch their legs and wander about if they desire. It’s not small and restrictive at all.
I love this videos but best of all, I like continuing to learn how to identify each elephant! Why does Fishan have a pressure sore on his leg? I know he has an injured leg but I don’t understand the pressure dire.
He lies on the injured leg’s side the most when he is sleeping so he can push himself back up using the stronger leg and this causes a pressure sore where he lies on his body, from the immense weight of his body. Other elephants alternate the sides they lie on so their pressure sores may not get as big or severe
@@herdelephantorphanage Oh. Thank you for explaining. Poor Fishan.
Will they try and mate within the herd? I'm just curious why none are pregnant if so.
No it’s not the objective to have the herd continue to breed right now the females are on contraceptives to prevent them from cycling and the bulls are given something as well to prevent them from entering musth(the only one who doesn’t have the ability to breed is Fishan as he was castrated as a younger bull due to an infection)The reason HERD was established was to give any future calves who’ve lost their family a 2nd chance with the Jabulani herd the way Kumbura,Timisa and Sunshine were accepted as well as to help continue to care for all 16 elephants currently there which is why the lodge was opened.🐘😊
@@shannondominguez9725 I want to visit, maybe one day my dream of coming will come true.
Thank you for replying. I was wondering why they don't try to reproduce.
Hi Adine, what is their temperature? I couldn't hear it.. 🤎
36c / 36.5c is their optimum body temperature.
@@banjemine4150 Thank you
I like elephants, I don't know why but I like them!!
🐘😄🐘😄🐘😄🐘😄🐘🐘😄🐘😄🐘😄🐘😄
P.S. Which elephant is the oldest Matriarch, and is Fishan the elephant babies' dad?
Sono bellissimi,super intelligenti più umani di noi.....!
Tokwe is the matriarch however she’s not the oldest(she was born in 1989 but like the rest of the adults nobody is sure of her past except that it’s likely they’re all orphans)that would be Setombe who was born in 1985. No Fishan’s not father to any of the younger elephants(he was castrated prior to arriving in South Africa from Zimbabwe bc of an infection.)Limpopo,Pisa,Klaserie,Mambo and Zindoga were all born to the herd after the adults were rescued from Zimbabwe and all are now teenagers their father is either Sebakwe or any of the wild bulls who live in the reserve but the team isn’t sure;Tokwe for sure went out on a adventure prior to Limpopo’s arrival in 2006 so the possibility is there. Kumbura,Timisa and Khanyisa are all rescues so nobody knows who their original family/history is.
@@shannondominguez9725 Thank you for explaining so much in detail about the elephants! I appreciate it!
