  • Carer Owen captured some beautiful scenes to share with you, starting with the herd as they stop by the dam for a morning drink en route into the bush for the day. Later we catch up with them under a large marula tree as the elephants enjoy feeding on the delicious fruit that have fallen onto the ground. Tall elephants like Sebakwe use their trunks to reach some fruits still on the tree but are sure to select the ripest of the lot. The youngsters get overexcited as always and chase some of the older females, like Zindoga who tries to push Lundi away from the marulas on the ground. Zindoga often gets feisty around these yummy fruits! The carers call Tokwe and Lundi to the marula tree a short distance away so that they can feed in peace. Enjoy scenes with babies, Khanyisa and Phabeni as they receive their milk bottles in the bush from carers Herman and Last, on this beautiful day in the elephants' wilderness.

      Yes. They try to get everyone in the picture frame and often you don't notice the difference. But every so often you get a view of the walk and realize not just height, but feet size and width of the big bulls feet are tremendous.
      It makes it more spectacular that the big bulls are so gentle, even when challenged by a teen like ZINDOGA or MAMBO. They never hurt anyone unnecessarily and when they do, it's just a poke.

    Is the Jabulani Herd considered to be a big herd? When they are all together, I realise how many elephants you are looking after - lots! I love the hippo in the water, but he doesn't seem to like the camera 😁 The Elephants can certainly clean up the ground under the trees so quickly. Lots of thing going on in today's video. I'm surprised how well Khanyisa holds her bottles - she never breaks them or spills them. Thanks for today's commentary Owen - it was great!

    The story I remember about the Murala tree I saw on TV years ago. The elephants had a path to the trees they would travel every year knowing when these trees would drop their fruit. Then some builders moved in to build a hotel right on the path. So they built the hotel lobby tall enough so the elephants could continue on the path right thru the hotel lobby. Great tourist attraction of course. Wild elles going thru lobby while people are eating.

    Thank you Owen,for a lovely video. Very good,interesting, narration. You have a good voice for this. I love how Phabeni came over thinking it was time for milk. It's amazing how quickly the ellies vacuum cleaned up all the marulas so quickly. Little Phabeni is getting good at using that little wriggly trunk of his. Wow,I didn't know that the naughty youngsters chase away the elders from the fruit. That was a beautiful shot of the whole herd together under the tree. I was surprised that no ellie chased the hippo out of the water,but noticed Jabu keeping an eye on it. The marulas look so small next to the ellies but are plum size in a humans hand.I've seen other videos of animals getting drunk on FERMENTED marulas,but the fruit will never get to that stage with the Jabulani Herd around,so no fear there. Thank you,again you wonderful carers for taking such good care of the herd.💖💖🐘🐘👍👍🥰🥰

    It is so amazing to see so many adopted elephants that became a herd.... and how anyone can remember who's name is who's...The most wonderful thing is that there are dedicated people that have a great relationship with them and how they can almost turn into to a wild herd and how humans can sit.... and learn their responses to each other ...it is wonderful that they have the trust on both sides, that they all work together to carry on the lives of these elephants.

    Thank you Owen. I loved your informative narrative delivered with such a soothing authentic voice showing such understanding of and care for all the individuals in the herd. I watch all of the videos on this channel. I like Adine’s extended observe/listen/minimal talk videos as well as her chatty ones, but I also love your kind of narrated video with explanations about behavior, interactions, family dynamics and details about how the carers work to accommodate these behaviors like calling Lundi and Tokwe to different tree (they come by name!!) or keeping track of the restless “Marula tree hopping” youngsters. Please keep this kind of narration coming Owen!!!

    It's so nice to see the whole HERD 🐘 drinking together at the water hole. Then it's off to the marula trees. It sure did not take long before the ground, full of marulas were gone. Zindoga 🐘 surprised me chasing Lundi 🐘 away. It was very nice seeing all of the carers that were out with the HERD 🐘today. Phabeni 🐘 and Khaynisa 🐘 both getting their bottles 🍼🍼🍼 today in the bush. They both enjoyed them and they were gone in a flash. Thank you Owen for describing who was who at the water hole and under the marula trees. Have a beautiful day Jabulani HERD family 🐘. ❤️🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘❤️

    Owen, you did a great job! I was so happy to see the 3 Munckins P, T & K together at the waterhole with Tokwe , Lundi and Limpopo! On the other side, seeing Bubi, Fishan Setombe, Klaserie and Phabeni was also heartwarming. I sincerely hope that Bubi now finds herself a bit less skittish and ends up being part of that group. Although, I feel she really feels more at home with the bulls. Being that Phabeni is a bull just like Zindoga, she really will end up being a good allomother to Seuntjie. None of the females, with the exception of Setombe is that attached to the hip of their offspring like Setombe is with daughter Klaserie. The exceptionally strong bond between these 2 is just incredible. Nothing except the world coming to an end would separate them!

    Beautiful footage and commentary, thank you Owen. I really love how you keep up identifying the elephants, that never gets old, also narrating the scene. I was surprised that the carers at the next tree were able to call just the two ellies they wanted, and those two responded. I did not expect that. Lovely human/elephant relationships all round. God bless all.

    Setombe really is an attentive mother, and she really is very selective of others in the herd who could go near her baby. It's really impressive and endearing to see. Although, I feel bad for other female elephants who really would like to bond with Phabeni as well. And Phabeni is really intelligent when he saw Owen and associate him with milk time, and when he was told that it was not that time yet, he seemed to understand.❤🐘❤

      The Dom Pedro is a traditional, uniquely South African cocktail - from which Amarula makes up the most important ingredient.
      225ml Vanilla Ice Cream
      60ml Double Cream
      87ml Amarula Cream Liqueur
      Flake or any grated chocolate
      Add Amarula, ice cream and double cream to blender.
      Blend until smooth and serve with grated chocolate to garnish.
