Adine Heads Out on a Bush Walk to Find the Elephants 🐘🌿🌞

- Join Adine as she heads out on foot through the reserve to find the elephants on their walk.
Having spent many years walking, driving and living in this Big 5 Kapama Private Game Reserve, in South Africa, Adine knows and understands the bush and its animals, signs and changes like a seasoned ranger. She has bush intuition and long-earned knowledge about the wild and its wild things, but the bush does change through the seasons, with heavy rains, new growth, and finding elephants in the thicket can be difficult...
Fortunately, this woman of the wild finds her way to the herd out in the reserve, after following several lion tracks and droppings and keeping her eye out for vultures and other animals. She gives us a beautiful view of elephant bull, Somopane, the wise peacemaker of the herd, as he eats and grazes on the vegetation.
If you've ever wondered what it would be like walking through the wild, join Adine on this adventure * as the thick trees surround her path and the beautiful clouds in the sky dance across the afternoon sun.
But don't try this yourself, unless with a qualified ranger or an Adine.
Adine you are one brave lady to walk that distance alone without a radio as well. Please be safe. We need you here to take care of these lovely beings.💕🐘💕
Yes stay safe please Adele!!
Adine is the human heart of the HERD - so good to see her -
With a ZILLION beats a minute! 😁🤣🤣💖💓💓💓💓
Ahvbith human and animal hearts
I do agree!
Amen! Well said 💗
Yes, she is. Love her and sending God's White Light of protection for the whole HERD and others
Hello Adine and HERD family!💕🐘💕🐘💕🐘🐘🐘💕
Take care of yourself, Adine!
So glad you found the herd and are safe!
I was feeling anxious when Adine couldn’t find the elephants and she was seeing lion tracks. Whew! Happy ending.❤️
Me too!!!😊👍🙏
Yup. I was all puckered up.
Indeed my heart rate rose slowly as she walked. All that was missing was some Hitchcock sound or music.

Adine, please be careful. That was frightening.
I know right??
"I think I'm following the lions".
Mmmm. That was a bit nerving.
It is comforting to know that the elephants will protect you from lions. I have even more respect for elephants. Adine can identify individual elephants from far away, that’s an amazing ability!
I admit I was a little worried there, but I knew you would find your way, and the guys.
But maybe next time, could you please take radio, just in case!
Love you Owen and George and Adine of course, and HERD!
You're way braver than I am, Adine!
She certainly is brave, but she is also so used to this life and this wilderness, that it's natural for her, like the rangers/guides and carers, but it's not for everyone, for sure. :)
A simple lady with strong and kind heart.may you ever remain under the blessings of God.
So worried about your safety. TC Adine
Thank you adina for saving her god bless you for all you do for these beautiful angels thank you from Canada 🇨🇦
Thank you so much, Janet! Love to you!
I think Adine had everyone watching this worried. I will be ok knowing about snakes but lion eish no ways.
I’m so glad you found them,I was worried it seemed like you were following lions,and then beautiful Limpopo was there,yay
I LOVE HOW Adine communicates with the HERD just as she would any one of us. There is no species hierarchy, none better than the other, all creatures of earth. That makes it so special and so equalizing. She calls out the name of each one to greet with a Hey!, Hey! just like any other human if you will....... we are no better.... When you think of Zoos, Parks, etc. maybe not as much now, but definitely years ago, human being always took the upper spot over most creatures and it was wrong and look how we treated them?!?! In cages, etc. Here, NO CAGES, normal names, life, friends, family, saying HEY HOW ARE YA TODAY LIMPOPO... with no arrogance of man at all, if anything, the Elephants are treated as a level HIGHER which I am sure, many agree with... you really don't see that much with wild animals, I LOVE THAT!
Heart beats fast when u r alone and find lion paw marks..happy that you are safe..
So glad you are safe, thank you for teaching. Blessings...
You are one Brave lady, Adine! Our native americans would name you "Walks with Lions"
Thank you for taking us on your walk. It is so beautiful there. I was scared for you being alone and you seeing lion tracks. I know you are experienced in the bush but I am glad you found your ellies and humans. Thank you Adine for another wonderful video.❤❤🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘❤❤
Thank you for watching and for your lovely support! :)
I was so nervous for Adine on this walk. Talking about lions, then I wondered if she had a phone or water with her. I was so glad to see her safe.
Adine is cute, smart and courageous.
I figured we wouldn't be watching this unless it ended well, but, like everyone else has said, please be safe 🙏❤
Adine next time bring a bottle and call Khanyisa ... she will bring the herd to you :) Seriously though please don't go out that far alone .please . I would be so upset to hear you had been hurt
Agree!
Haha yes, good idea. She can smell that bottle a mile away
Good lord ardine becareful out there
Sooo relieved when you caught up with the herd, bet you were too quite nervous watching video thank god you made it safely 🙏🐘💕🐘💕👼
Adine I probably would have fainted when I saw the first loin track. Love 💓💓💓 from Mississippi
Adine I was having heart palpitations as you walked through the bush. I may have shed a tear when you saw the lion paw prints. I found myself calling out to the elephants for you lol.
It was crazy but it was neat to see all you showed. Glad you are safe.
Dear Adine I was frightened for you all the way, especially as you kept identifying the lion pooh.
I’m always worried Adine will meet a pack of lions or some other wild animal will attack her.
Me too😳
She looks so calm talking about lions 😳😳😳
Right?! 🥺
Adine has a good vibe of peace.
Protection, blessings, and love to you, dear one. God is not done with you yet. That's good.
I was so happy when you found the Ellie's ♡ ♡♡
Adine...
Why did the elephants get kicked out of the pool?
Because their trunks kept falling down!
Haha! 💦😂🐘 you got us!
Lol....that's cute!
Hahaha that is too cute
So glad you made contact with the herd and carers. You had us worried for while there. Beautiful scenery.
a gorgeous afternoon! Thank you :)
Elephants the gardner's of the wild.
I love how the ground tells the story of all that had been through! what a beautiful day
Adine! You had me worried by the lions spoor. How lovely for you to find the elephants. Phew! 😄🇿🇦🐘
Hay Adine qué caminada más fuerte .
Es largo el camino de donde están los elefantes 🐘 grandes 😅 qué caminada.
Dios los bendiga siempre 🙏 🙌
You covered a lot of ground! I, too, was worried about you, having seen evidence of that lion along your path. Don’t you be scaring me like that...going out without your radio! I’m nearly out of breath myself, and so relieved to see Semopane there, casually munching on that luscious branch, and the fellows smiling at the sight of you.
I’m happy to see the new girl, Fenya, and look forward to watching her recovery in your tender care.
I have been off here recently, as my beloved husband died in my arms 3 weeks ago, on Feb7th. Grief in the time of COVID is a devastating experience. He lived with a brain injury in my care for 12 years, and suddenly I’m alone, surrounded by his art, his collections, & his library. But not him! I’ve always been comfortable in my own company, and have been a recluse much of these recent years as he became more frail - so in this COVID year I ventured out only once, to get X-rays....then 5 days after he passed, to have my first vaccination. It was jarring, to leave the house..so just now, during your brisk walk - I watched with tears streaming down my cheeks, longing to join you & the elephants....simply walking.
The NYT, WAPO & others wrote beautiful obituaries about him, with pictures of his work, and of his handsome face. I will treasure these tributes, smiling in the knowledge if he were alive to see them he’d have bragged shamelessly to his pals. He was an unforgettable, brilliant and very funny man who kept me laughing. When I awaken in the night, weeping, my thoughts then turn to the millions suffering now, too, all over the world. I feel selfish, almost ashamed by what might seem an indulgence in this grief. He was declining - but no matter if you know death is coming....you’re never really ready. I told myself I was, but it’s just only beginning to sink in, and I’m heartbroken. We were still teenagers in love until his last breath.
I pulled the covers under his chin, smoothed his brow, played music and stayed with him in the lantern light as he grew cold, telling him stories from our lifelong courtship & about how happy we were, finally together these past 21 years. Those four hours passed like it was ten minutes, until they came to take him away, and I was then alone, wandering the house in shock. My sorrow deepens as I still get up in the night to check on him before remembering he’s gone.....
Thank you for taking us on this lovely walk, and for all the videos I’ve missed this past two months while I was busy keeping him feeling safe and loved. It was a peaceful passing. I hope I did well for him....
I will start watching them now, and absorb some Elephant joy through your eyes....for which I have been so grateful this whole year with Wilson in Hospice. It’s been a heartwarming escape. I often played them for him
on the big flatscreen, on the mantel, on Sundays - the only day we had alone, with no caregivers in the house.
He loved watching the Herd as well. I would tell him their names. He was amazed, eyes wide, enjoying the silent spectacle of this gentle family you created.
Be well & stay safe, dear Adine.
Your presence in this world, and the work you do, is a gift.
Sending love to you, your team of carers, and your family of adorable, growing & enormous beasts.
We’re all lucky to have found you...even those of us a whole world away. Your loving care of these admirable creatures is a lesson in humanity. We all have so much to learn about that from them!
Love,
Lorraine💖🐘🌿🦒🐆🌿🐘🌿🐅🦒🌿🐘💖
Adine.... You scared all of us. Please stay safe♥️♥️♥️
When you got to the clearing where the elephants were I thought what a gorgeous sight. I would love to come upon a group of elephants and have them know me and me them. That must be a wonderful feeling. They are so majestic. Glad you found your way okay.
Adine you are a hero of the bush so much walking so much love for the elephants and the lovely little Kanysia. Thank you so much for give the elephants and the wildlife they are safe and in freedom in your sanctuary in a wonderful nature wildlife,
There is no way, I'd ever go out there Reserve or not, all by myself. Wondering if you brought a gun? You are one nutty lady that is full of beans, you are. This is crazy. Sooooo, enjoyed the natural lessons. Loved it.
She had fun I think, anyway.
One brave lady. Thank you for sharing all that you do.
ADINE is KNOWLEDGE....but more than THAT....... SHE'S BRAVE!!!!🐘🐘🐘🐘
Not a crazy lady talking to herself your talking to thousands of us all over the world ❤️❤️❤️❤️🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘

Oh my goodness, your weather is gorgeous! Here in southern Ohio it's about 20° F. Pretty cold with about 5" of snow the ground.
wish we could send you some African sunshine!
Thank you, that's so sweet of you. Have a wonderful day.
I was so happy and relieved when Adine found the herd. Kept imagining a lion stalking her.😄
That was quite an adventure Adine 😁😁
God looks after good people. 🙏🙏
Looks to be a much better day there than here. Got alot of snow here in Indiana, United states
Hi there! I'm in Indianapolis. Glad to know someone else from IN loves the herd and Khanyisa!
I’m in NJ yes we have a lot of snow and still falling. Should be ending by tomorrow morning. It’s mighty cold outside. My kids and I were in IN last Summer. Love the state. Love the Amish. Can’t wait to visit again.
@@celindacochran6977 blessings to you Indiana
@@Leemu786 blessings my friend
@@LahainaStrong444 thank you. Blessings to you also.
I was thinking that Khanyisa brought so many of us together. In 2020 of all the horrible things. Khanyisa is indeed Sunshine. She brightens and bring joy anywhere she goes.
Adine I was reading about the Jabulani herd. Thank you for saving them from a certain death in Zimbabwe. You're awesome!
Adine you are one brave lady.
did you guys know elephants say a lot of stuff we cant even hear with a naked human ear. it is so low that you have to play the recordings back at 5 times the speed to begin to hear anything from their lower register of speaking to each other.
I was also concerned. Beautiful to see the elephants at the end.❤️
Wonder Woman!!!!!! You are amazing Adine...
Great walk Adine of adventure and the unknown!?🙆
Who else had to fast forward to make sure Adine found the elephants before the lions found her..... phew 😀
I almost did 🤔🏴
I kept checking the time left on the video...lol
Seriously? It's not a Stephen King horror movie. 🤦♂️😝
Aldine be Blessed Always xoxo
Oh Adine! I’m sorry you got lost but I’m happy to have come along with you, learning how to see evidence of animals and snakes. I also like that you don’t disturb spiders’s 🕸. Beautiful day until the clouds left yet that was when you were safe again with the Herd and it’s caretakers. How lovely it was to see Limpopo.
I admire this lady's dedication kindness and how wonderful she and her caregiver are to those wonderful elephants they respect her. Little Sunshine loves her also and lammie i follow the herd daily.
There could have been lions hiding in the tall grasses... thank goodness you made it safely, Adine.🥰
I'm watching another video from safrica,beautiful weather.Adine is walking by herself, yes by herself, to find her herd of ellies.I was 😨 for her giving she was lost! Very tense since she saw lion tracks,and still no ellies.She is one brave 🍪! Finally she came upon the ellies, and care givers.The first thing they said was "we were 😨 for you".So glad everything turned out well, you have many followers that 💘 you,including me.
A very scary walk and very brave lady. I admire your toughness!
Feet-on-the-ground in the wild African bush is such a treat; I feel the privilege of being there with the wind and the sunny open sky. Wonderful!
Please be more careful.🕊🇺🇲💕
😬My heart skipped the occasional beat on your jaunt! 💫Top lady Adine, for what it's worth, I was looking and listening intently all around on your walk, willing on, the calm and beauty. What a perfect sight, to see Limpopo, Sebakwe the carers and the rest of the herd💞🐘
Adine is brave to walk alone. Are there no other wild life around? Stay save Adine❤❤
In other videos we have seen giraffes and water buffalo, and of course the occasional bird.
Well yeah there is, cause in this video Adine showed us lion tracks and spoke of vultures. Of course the wildlife that lives there hear and smell the humans way before they get a glimpse of the wildlife. They are sure to either conceal themselves or just leave the area when we humans are around.
@@jaycuzman625 -- We have Turkey Vultures in my area, as large as Ospreys (which are fishing birds). My guess is they are sometimes mistaken for eagles (which are large and also fish). But Vultures look for carrion (carcasses), so I imagine sometimes they are seeking out crashed hot-air balloonists to dine on... Of all these birds, I don't think of them as dangerous to humans. Even the largest owls prefer to catch house cats and meals that size. Things are different in the jungle though... I'm glad elephants are on guard!
They have all of the Big 5 on this reserve plus the other game, so she was very brave to walk alone. From the size of the lion spoor, it was a big lion too.
"I think I follow the lions" was a bit nerving, but I trust you know your ropes. I walk deep in the forests often with my dog, see bear and wolf footprints sometimes, but they avoid people - don't think lions do. Urban people are so worried about walking in the wilds. It's a beautiful day there, I envy you! We have half a meter snow here this part of Finland. Good vegetation there, seems plenty of food for the elephants. Your elephants are so well off, compared to elephant sanctuaries that must buy the food to feed the ellies.
You are a crazy lady out there on your own with the lions! So glad you found your herd unscathed! 🇨🇦🤗
Loved all the tracks along your way.
Be well....that was interesting.
Good grief Adine! I was looking for lions at every turn 🥺
I worry for your safety as well with lions about.
Hungry lions, hyenas, leopards, snakes, etc...I started to see the end of the video first then I started to watch the entire video😂
So glad you found the crew safely. Next time please take a radio ;-)
Those huge power line towers could also easily be marked or even painted different colors. "I'm south of the orange-blue tower number 136." Also, she'd have a compass and a horn or whistle.
@@debbys-abqnm4537 Yeah. Never know what one may come across out in the bush!
@@rlight7666 -- Poachers are likely the most dangerous and unpredictable beasts... snakes, lions, etc. may attack a potential meal or to protect offspring. I know which danger I'd rather face if forced to...
You are a brave woman Adine..Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Love what you do sooo much Adine. Was very nervous for you...alone, lions?, no gun or weapon, lost...please always in pairs in the bush.
Experience saves as much as it teaches. Your experience in the bush kept you from panicking and losing confidence in your ability to see clearly what is around you.
Please be careful. Love you.
I’m looking at the crazy flies buzzing around your head.
I feel as if I held my breath because the second I saw the elephants I exhaled with relief.
Glad your safe, Adine.
What a beautiful place
Absolutely 💚
Adine is much, much braver than I. ♥️🐘
Thank God the men found you 🙏💕
That was a nice walk.
Indeed we were worried about you Adine, a sigh of relief whence you reached the safety of HERD. Thank you for an intriguing incite into The Bush..
You are a brave woman. Lions around and you keep going even though
You could have run into them or the snake. I do have a question for you; do elephants have blood types? I've seen you collect blood from two different elephants. Just wondered if you had to match blood type.
Neeeeeeee my senuwees was klaar!!!! Dankie Vader jy het jou trop gekry. 😖🥰🥰
You crazy chick! Without radio! 😲
But nice walk. Nice to see the bush. 😎
Thank You, Adine! 🤩🥰
Okay I had to fast forward to make sure Adine wasn't eaten by the lions or bitten by a snake as she wonders through the bush, alone.. Maybe Adine is packing a weapon... Oh goodness..
😂 IF that was to happen... how do you think you're watching the video? 🤔 It's not live streamed. And if (God forbid) something bad happened and the vid got posted, I'm pretty sure the title would say something like RIP. You probably stand a better chance of getting bit by a rabid chihuahua in your neighborhood. 🤣
"Here's to (Toast) where you can still take a walk and get eaten"! Thank you for sharing this wonderful story with us (at some personal risk)
That was really scary. My heart was pounding. Glad you are safe Adine. Please please do not do this again. We love you and need you.
Really enjoyed your walk, Adine. Thankyou.
Dont go alone plz ! Lion ho my gouness
What do you do to protect yourself?
Happy they are all safe as wel as the Herd staff 🤗🤗🤗🤗🐘🐘🐘🐘
So nervous watching you in the bush alone....yes a radio is a must from now on...just showing the lion prints had my stomach rolling...take care Adine....we need you!
Adine is one amazing lady!!! And a track reader to boot!!!! Loved it!!!!💖💖💖 (with CC on *Sebakwe * became *the parkway* and *Somopane* became " summer pony*😄😄)
You are daring!..Does your elephants come home on their own without carers I wonder.Love the way he broke the branch a big CRACK
The only thing that kept my fear for Adine ( alone + no radio + lion footprints ) at bay was this " We see the video so Adine made it safe " . The snake tracks were quite big!!! Beautiful walk. Thank you Adine
I became relieved when I saw the power lines. I'm sure that Adine could orient herself then. But it seemed that the elephants were not worried; they just carried on as usual. 😘💕🐘
I quite enjoyed your "lost walkabout" and "chat".
I was worried for your safety Adine, especially when you came across the lions footprints & fresh dung. It was a great relief when you advised us that the Herd was in the distance ❤🥰
Oh how I would love to be walking with you to find your herd......such a beautiful country and scenery you have💚
