It seemed like everyone was so happy some rain had come, everything is green, the dirt is mud. Even humans are feeling great when it has finally rained after a long and hard drought. But you have to give it to the Herd, they really do know how to have a great time. Thank you again Owen, Adine the carers and anyone else involved in caring for the Elephants starting off well for the New Year.
It’s such a joy to watch their playful wallowing and splashing, and to see the landscape looking so lush and soaking up the rain. Thank you, Owen, and a very Happy New Year to you and everyone at HERD.
Pitch perfect video. Just the right amount of voiceover for an identification and explanation of what we are looking at so that we can enjoy with a more educated eye. Welcome to the new year, Owen and all of the carers.
This herd is a great way to learn a lot about elephants and to improve my school English, through their carers. Bonne année à tous les êtres vivant sur notre magnifique planète !
I have always loved elephants❣️ When I was little, every birthday and every Christmas, I would ask for an “Elphanent” for my gift! One Christmas my parents gave me a beautiful statue of a baby elephant with it its momma. I still have and cherish that statue❣️
They love mud! Our pink sunshine Khanyisa takes time to have a little nap, guarded by Tokwe, and Timi decides to do the same. Meanwhile Fishan carefully enjoys rhe mud. A great video! Thank you Owen and a happy New Year to you, all the carers and all the elephants at HERD!
How entertaining it is to see our Elephants frolicking in the mud puddle created by recent rains, young and old alike, each wanting their share The magnificent matriarch Tokwe basking in the mud with her daughters Limpopo, Pisa and Zindoga, not far from her sweetheart, even Kumbura enjoying the muddy mane, along with Bubi velvet eyes and her friend Gentleman Fishan Timisa, for her part, plays Sleeping Beauty, apart from a few jousts with Khanyisa, before returning to her beauty treatment Thank you, Owen, for sharing with us the joy, games and mud baths of our favorite Elephants used as a relaxing Family therapy
Hi Owen! Another superb video and how lovely to see all the Herd enjoying the results of the rain - even Tokwe is allowing herself some "me" time. Timi and Khanyisa enjoying some loving play. I hope more rains come! Sending Thanks and Best Wishes to you and all the Carers. 😊💚🐘💚🙏🙏
Hi Jan, Wasn’t this just the BEST video 👍 I should be taking my decorations down but can’t tear myself away from my iPad 😂 We are snowed in up here in Lancashire ❄️☃️🌨️ So it’s great to escape over to the sunshine with the Ellie’s. Take care. 🥰🐘🥰
@lesleyhook3472 It's just Superb Lesley!! You're in Lancs? Oh dear, not good. Here in Lincs it's turned to rain. Horrid weather. 😖 Have you seen Tiger's photo of Meislekind? It's Stunning! There are some extremely talented staff at HERD!! Take great care 🧡😉🙏
@@janparish7895 Funnily enough, I just caught up with my Instagram and UA-cam and came across the photo of ‘Sunshine and Sunset’ and there were no comments on it! So, of course, I added mine 😅 I’m only thinking that not everyone is aware that Khanyisa means ‘sunshine’ 😬 I’ve added it to my photos. My tree is STILL up! 😂🥰🐘🥰
Happy new year Owen another great video love to see the herd enjoying themselves in the mud and the water fishan looks great khanyisa loves the mud what a great family you at herd have got they just love the mud tokwe thinks give me more mud😊 really happy you are having some rain ☔ the herd just love it ❤❤❤❤ and you can see all the green leaves and grass fantastic thank you Owen for another great video 👍🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
What a fantastic video, Owen!! Thank you! Loved watching the Herd just relaxing and enjoying the mud. So calming to watch them just being the magnificent creatures they are!
There is nothing more peaceful than watching and listening to the elephants play in the water!!!! Thank you Owen. Stay safe!!! sending much love to HERD!!!! suzanne
Wherever there's water and mud, there are happy ellies 😍 And happy ellies celebrate new year and falling rain 😊 Well, have to admit this is a very muddy bath 😏 Thank you Owen for the video ☺ ❤🐘❤🐘❤🐘
Well, there's one thing Owen....at least your not dog walking. And you have to wash and dry the Herd. 😂😂. I've so enjoyed this video. Lovely to see so much play and pure enjoyment from the water. Some take it to extremes 😂😂. I feel for Fishan, he must need to take extra care moving around with it being so slippy. Happy New Year again. ❤❤❤❤❤xxxx
That was so cool. I thought Pisa was " stuck in the mud' for a minute. Loved seeing Fishan in there enjoying himself too. Thanks so much Owen. That was awesome to watch ❤ 🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘
Don't you think Owen has an outstanding hand to show us the ellies wallowing their moment in the mud? Owen films perfectly all happening; not staying too long on a subject, not leaving it before we could enjoy it at our satisfaction. Bravo Owen ❤
Happy New Year to you also Owen. Just give the Jabulani HERD 🐘 a big mud puddle and they are very happy. Pisa 🐘 and Zindoga 🐘 is such a sweet love ❤️ story in the making. I was enjoying watching Tokwe 🐘 loving that mud bath. I love ❤️ you my girl. Timisa 🐘 and Khaynisa 🐘 were also loving this large patch of mud and water. Laying down on that cool wet earth and it looks like they both took a little snooze. Thank you again Owen for this enjoyable video at 5:00 am. I love waking up to my favorite elephant 🐘 family. ❤️🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘❤️
Thak you Owen my best wishes for 2025 !! have a good health ! take care of you ! this time the Herd found a fantastic place !!! but I see that FISHAN LEG is not at the top he lifts his leg and doesn’t lean in it ! poor Fishan ! so courageous all the day !! Elephants babies or adults are very courageous v/s painful ! 🐘♥️
Happy new year to all my beautiful magnificent gorgeous babies. I send my love to my girl.Khanyisa Love to all the caretakers to Adine you are all beautiful and precious. I wish you all love joy and blessings and happiness. You all give me so much joy♥️
This is the Jabulani Herd's way of starting the New Year with a splash. Elephants have a way to be excited, while still remaining calm and peaceful. I don't know how they do it. It's another interesting and amazing behavior that they have. We can again see here the close bond between Timi and Khanyisa, and Pisa and Zindoga. Thank you, Owen, for this comforting video. It really shows how much you love showing off these beautiful ellies, and we really appreciate it. I am always excited and I constantly look forward for every HERD video. Have Blessed Year 2025 And All Years To HERD. May God Always Protect And Bless You All.🙏🐘❤

@AgnesKortvelyesi Hi sweet Agnes, Yes, I do so love & try to understand all I can about ellies. The Jabulani Herd Reserve is the most caring, honest site I've found. Can only see them on my cell so can identify only a few that's why I really appreciate when they post their names. Yes, I'm a big fan & can see you are also! Love seeing you on here! ~Hugs from Laurie❣️🐘💖🙋♀️🥰
Most animals use play to hone their hunting skills. These elephants are using play for the sheer joy of it. Like children rolling in the mud after a good rain, the elephants of the Jabulani Herd are having fun...good clean (lol) fun. This, my friends, is an elephant bacchanal.
To see precious Fishan's leg - yikes. We know HERD cares for him devotedly... Hope it's ok to ask if some kind of wrap would help. Thank you for everything you do for all of these wonderful elephants! ❤😊 And thanks to Owen for these awesome videos.
Thank you very much,Owen,for the beautiful video of some of the herd having a great time in the mud. Wish you and your family great blessings for 2025. Lovely to spot the herd of Impala in the background. 👍👍🐘🐘🐘💖💖💖
Fantastic footage, Owen! You are getting better and better. I really enjoy how you pan out to where Mambo and others are and then slowly move across the horizon so we can get a good idea of what the area looks like. How wonderful they had moving water as they seemed to enjoy it so much. The situational awareness of the larger elephants near the younger ones always amazes me as they always are careful around them. They all seem to move in synchronicity. Quite beautiful.
Oh what a beautiful sight! Everyone was having such fun in the water & mud! They all looked like school kids at recess! lol. Thanks Owen for showing us the elephants playing & thoroughly enjoying themselves !! Blessings always! 🐘😊❤️
Happy New Year!! I love your channel, I have learned so much about elephants, Thank you for all you do. One concern is Fishan having issues with his leg, he scoots it when he walks. Just an observation I noticed in this video.
Thank you so much, Owen, for sharing this video that you took. It makes my heart so happy to see our elephant friends enjoying themselves so much in the running water, the puddles and rivers! And I love that you point out to us which elephant is which ... it's good to see how much fun they are having! Happy New Year, Owen and all the eles and our friends at HERD!
Thank you Owen for always being where the action is and sharing it with us. Thank you Lord for sending rain to them. It’s wonderful to see their joy in playing in the mud again.
Hello, my beautiful babies. ❤️🐘❤️ Everyone is looking very cute getting a nice skin care session and it's so nice to see some new greenery and impalas prancing in it. 8:14 I always laugh whenever I hear one of these cuties farting. I never realized how gassy eles are until I started watching HERD videos. Thank you, Owen, for the video.
Good morning HERD. I see the elephants are enjoying the water again. I know they love their babies water bath. 🧼. Love seeing the elephants everyday. God bless all of you who take care of them. 🙏❤️
@stephensfarms7165 I am from Hungary, I wrote to you yesterday or the day before yesterday...😉 Here, the weather is relatively mild, during the day max. 39°F, night min. 26. In the afternoon, a few hours of sparkling sunshine, dry, also no snow.🌤❄️🙋🏻♀️🇭🇺
@@stephensfarms7165 I don't feel bad but it could be better. I have been living here for over 50 years. I've been to all five continents as a tourist but this is different. Worked for half a year in Germany (Munich) 14 years ago. Would like to belong to a great Anglo-Saxon nation. Here in Hungary, I am not satisfied with the salaries and social security of ordinary people. The country's political leadership makes me sad and disappointed, there is practically an autocracy, and corruption is quite significant at the European level.😡 This political leadership has been in power for 15 years and who knows when there will be a change.🤷♀️
OMG I absolutely LOVED seeing our sweet Tokwe enjoying herself, just so adorable our matriarch taking some time off her duties and just go all in to the mud 😍😍😍😍😍
I hope Fishan was able to get out of the muddy creek ok. I couldn’t believe it when he came up behind Limpopo and said “MOVE” so he could play in the mud too. Happy to see many of the herd frolicking. 💓
Happy New Year to everyone at Herd…this looks like the perfect way to start a new year…who doesn’t love a good romp in an elephant size mud puddle…🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘
Water, mud, green grass and green leaves….everything an elephant could wish for! Thank you, Owen, for taking this video and sharing it with us. I loved seeing the antelope running around in the background. 💦🌳🐘🐘🐘🐘❤️
Happy New Year Owen! Looking forward to many more great videos of the beautiful HERD family. Glad to see the rain falling and creating such a fun play ground for them. Take care!
Hi Owen, Thank you for this Wonderful post. It is so heart warming to watch all the elephants having a fantastic time in the water & mud. I hope you get somemore much needed rain. It was good to see the greenery come back for the elephants to enjoy. Kind Regards Vicki Butler, Australia ❤😊
They love their spa. I love to watch them ❤
Thanks Owen, Happy New Year. 🐘🐘🐘🐘🤗❤️
Just like a bunch of 6 yr olds who have found a muddy puddle. Who can get the muddiest! Brings joy to the heart. Thank you
It's so wonderful watching the ellies loving on each other ❤❤❤
Thanks Owen, wonderful to see the elephants having a good time
Owen I wish you and your family a happy new year and a very big thank you for what you and Herd do for our much loved Ellie’s.
