  • Adine Roode has a wealth of knowledge in the field of conservation, having spent her life surrounded by wildlife, and having been heavily involved in the rehabilitation of orphaned and injured rhinos and rescued elephants. With the growing number of elephant orphans in South Africa, Adine used this knowledge, as well as her palpable passion, to set up HERD, which rescues, rehabilitates and releases orphaned elephants back into a wild environment so that they can have a second chance at life.

    Dear Adine,
    Your HERD videos warm my heart, relax me, tickle my funny bone and educate me. I had no idea that an elephant culture even existed. Their tenderness for one another and their carers assures me that good relations can be established with other elephant herds. We are blessed by you and your team's knowledge and wisdom.
    Thank you, M

    Thank you so much Adine Roode to make this great loving place for elephants to safe them and give the elephants a freedom place in safety and give them all the care. It is very togetherness with the wildlife animals as human. We are now in 2021 november and see all happy elephants in Herd and little calf Khanyisa just 2 years old we have seen the sadness when Khanyisa came to the orphanage you stay there every day sleep with Khanyisa and give her milk together with the carers. That was the moment I respect you Adine very much the hard work and the love for the elephants and wildlife. I love the Herd Hoedspruit Jabulani

Much love and hugs to the entire HERD team.

Thank you so very much for your beautiful and important ( in fact crucial) role in these elephants 's lives!!!
