Farewell To Our Foster Elephant Orphan, Mbegu
Вставка
- Опубліковано 23 гру 2024
- We fostered an elephant orphan, Mbegu, in Kenya in 2014. Her Mother was shot after she killed a tribal woman. She was rescued and raised by the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust.
She is currently at the Voi Orphanage, and will soon be returned to the wild
in Tsavo East National Park.

What Mbegu went through on that horrible day broke my heart. I am so grateful that SWT gave her another chance at love and happiness. I pray for her and all the elephants.
Thank you.
Mbegu has been my favourite since I saw the documentary of her and ndotto. Thank you for adopting her, showing her love and giving her a chance. You guys are angels ❤️
Mbegu and Ndotto are still at Voi and thriving. Thanks for caring.
The Sheldrick Wildlife Trust have been a God send to the elephant orphans of Kenya. Long may their work continue to support the balance between community and environment.
Beautiful and intensely moving. Thank you all and Bless you all ❤❤❤❤🐘🙏🏻❤❤
She is a survivor! Thank you all in DSWT. Your hard work and dedication paid off, when she brought her baby to show off. It’s the final joyful moment in the life journey.
Not that I belong to the over sentimental animal lovers but now I am struggeling to keep my eyes dry. What a wonderful story. I hope that she and her calf will stay safe.
Thank u both beautiful and heart breaking
I'm sure you'll see Mbegu whenever you go to Voi. I have a feeling she will visit the Unit as often as she can especially when she has kids. :)
Happy New Year to you both!
T'lan Imass, you are such an optimist...I hope you're right! I appreciate your support/interest in elephants. Good luck to you in the New Year.
ok had me in tears, sheldrick will life trust, do so amazing work thank you is never enough, and Mbegu story always makes me cry. thank you for your love and care for her. Soon she will make her own herd and be bringing her owns babies over to the trust.
We hope so. Thank you for caring.

Are you gonna make more videos about Africa’s wildlife later this year?
Yes, I hope you are enjoying them.
Beautiful little girl 💞

Beautiful. I have a question who is the picture of at the end of the video is it a Mbegu with her calf?
Elephants give birth for the first time around the age of 15, so it will be another 7 years before Mbegu conceives.
❤❤❤❤
Her name means "seed" in Swahili. She was named by Mishak because she was so small they could carry her. I had the privilege of meeting her in 2016.
Mbegu is not out in the wild yet, she's still a resident at Voi, now aged 10.
I recall it all. so wonderful to see her again now down at Voi I just learned. thank you for the memories. and of course darling premie ndotto came with her
Ontroerend , maar goed 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Will her close contact with humans cause Mbegu to be at risk in the wild by being too trusting?? Certainly hope not.
Good question. As the orphans grow and spend more time with wild elephants, they learn from the wild ellies to be wary of unknown humans. I know of no case where a former orphan was poached due to being too trusting.
