Boozle watches Twiggy with great curiosity—perhaps questioning how she’s reaching all those delicious leaves up high? Despite a determined stretch, Boozle remains firmly grounded, seemingly realising she has plenty of food at head height.

Mwana has discovered her own personal water source! Ever the curious calf, she found a small hole in the pipeline and decided it was the perfect drinking fountain. With her trunk expertly positioned, she made sure not a single drop was wasted.

Raised through our Orphans' Project, Mulika has reclaimed her place in the wild. In 2011, she welcomed a daughter, Mwende — who in 2023, had her own calf, Mala.
Watching Mwende and Mala walk side by side is a powerful reminder one rescue doesn’t just save a life — it can shape generations.

When treating an injured elephant, every second—and every tool—matters. Arrow wounds are especially dangerous.

As is historically the case, December was a quieter month for our field teams, as the rains brought some respite in illegal activities. Still, our Aerial Unit kept busy with routine patrols, search-and-rescue missions, veterinary treatments, and anti-poaching operations.

Our little girl in blue is doing well. While Raha’s journey remains a unique one, we are happy with her progress. Working with our veterinarians, we continue to monitor her very closely and daily she’s doted on by all of the keepers ❤️

Few things bring as much excitement to an orphaned elephant’s day as milk time! For Esoit, his bottles are more than just nourishment—they’re a source of comfort, strength, and the foundation for a future back in the wild.

Olomunyak and Taroha are deep in play, their trunks entwined in a tussle — a classic game among young elephants, where strength meets curiosity. As they spar, Kitich strolls past with calm confidence, offering a brief, friendly greeting before carrying on, leaving the younger duo to their fun.

When Lenny and Sulwe walk together you could mistake them for twins. Lima Lima’s little boy and Sonje’s special girl are not related by birth, but they will grow up as brother and sister. Like any siblings, they happily play and then bicker, play and bicker, in a constant rotation!
