  • Meet LIMPOPO! The next youngster in the Jabulani herd 🐘 A true sweetheart with a heart of gold. 🥰
    As the daughter of the herd’s Matriarch, she is protective, beautiful and intelligent. If she finds her way into your heart, you can foster her and stand a chance to win a three-night stay at Jabulani for two people sharing!
    jabulanisafari...
    Named after a river in Zimbabwe and a province in South Africa, Limpopo is the daughter of Matriarch, Tokwe and came into the world on 19 August 2006.
    She was the first calf born to the Jabulani herd and while we know who her mother is, we can only guess who the father may be - possibly Sebakwe or a wild elephant. Her birth was an emotional time for us all, as elephants are known to not reproduce if they are under stress or in an unhappy environment. Her birth showed that Tokwe was happy and at home in her new surroundings with us at Jabulani, after being rescued from being culled in Zimbabwe.
    Physical Traits:
    You can certainly see Limpopo’s resemblance to her mother, with her slightly less wrinkled skin, slightly pointed forehead, and thin, neat and even tusks. Being an active elephant, much like her mother, Limpopo also has a more athletic body shape.
    Personality:
    Limpopo is the eldest of the younger elephants and is very much the big sister of the herd, always protective and tending to the younger elephants - a trait she may well have learned from her caring mother.
    She is an intelligent and beautiful young female, very aware of the other elephants’ emotions.
    Whenever the elephants encounter dangerous animals on the reserve, such as lions, she is one of the first of the herd to react in a protective manner. She is her mother’s biggest fan, always backing her up and giving her daughterly support. It is beautiful to watch her love and devotion to her.
    Limpopo always helps Tokwe tend to the younger siblings, Kumbura and Timisa, and she spends most of her time with her best friend, Klaserie, who is just 6 months younger than her.
    Foster the kind and caring Limpopo!

    Today is March, 11, 2021. I’m watching this video not long after baby Fenya was rescued and came to Herd.
    It’s incredible to watch pictures of Limpopo as a little calf, such a beautiful baby, well fed and cared for, always protected by her loving family; humans and ellies.
    And it’s heartbreaking to compare this beautiful images with pictures of baby Fenya struggling to survive her devastating physical and emotional wounds.
    Although I know Fenya is in the best hands I’m aware she’s still in critical condition.
    I’m praying for your recovery, Fenya. Stay strong, my girl.
    Thanks Herd friends for all you work. 💕🐘💞

When she lifts her back leg to scratch the other back leg, it always makes me giggle without fail. She's grown up into an absolute beauty and takes so much after her mom. And those eyes and eyelashes make my heart melt every time. We love you, Popo!!!!!
