- Scenes from Mambo’s Rescue Mission!
This was no small mission! It cost us R30 000, with the helicopters, vet and diesel used. It took several days and nights of sweat and stress. It took two helicopters. And a lot of searching in the stormy summer rain. But we were able to locate and relocate Mambo, to reunite him with his herd.
Read the FULL STORY IN OUR BLOG herd.org.za/blog/elephant-bul...
You might be wondering why we couldn’t simply let Mambo go… There are many reasons involved, but namely our reserve has a tourism presence, with other safari lodges, and with Mambo being used to humans, due to the care and protection of the carers over the years, he could become a problem elephant and pose a risk for human-elephant conflict, by getting too close to humans or settlements. He could cause harm to himself and people.
Mambo might be able to be released into the wild one day but it will be in a different reserve where there is no human presence.
Mambo is loved by his herd and his mother and simply letting him go with no warning could cause distress to his herd.
Mambo has tried to join the wild herds before but they ultimately left him and he was roaming alone. He doesn’t have the experience of being alone in the wild and since he is our responsibility, we need to ensure no risk of harm to him.
Watch the video and read the blog to see how the events played out. Let us know your questions and we will do our best to answer them! 🐘💖
We are immensely relieved to have Mambo home with his herd, safe and sound and are incredibly grateful to everyone who played a hand in his rescue.

Poor Mambo. Teenage years can be difficult. Bless him 🐘💙
They can be..
Mambo is the spice in the HERD - I feel there will be more stories about his will power - may he always
be safe and happy-
He really is spice😆
No doubt there.
Mambo is back! We love mambo ❤️ Thank you to the whole team for this effort 👍❤️
We do love Mambo.
Also, are you the Keith Heath that follows the "Farm" in Australia?
If so ,me too.🤗
Yes, yes! But I don’t understand what happened. Would someone please explain? Thank you.🐘
@@e.conboy4286 Hi - please see the video before this one and/or the link to Adobe's blog. Fwiw, checking the video description helps.
@@kp8381 Me, three :-) ♡
We are so happy!
Oh Mambo - you mustn't scare everyone like that ❤️❤️
Yes he must stop!!! so much stress
Naughty boy, Mambo! My screensaver is a photo of the back of him at 6 years old, when I met him and Lundi on my first visit to Camp Jabulani in 2015. He made a big impression on me then! 💕🐘💕
Hi Kim thank you for sharing. You must have had a lovely time and connection with ellies. I saw your previous comments under other videos and i was wondering did you work with jabulani camp or did you go there for holiday?
@@zamzamahmed8139 it was as a visitor. I discovered Camp Jabulan, as it was called then, in late 2014. I've been a return guest and did volunteer at next door HESC in 2017. Unfortunately they stopped their volunteer programme during covid and have not revived it.
@@Kim-lc3fv oh thats so lovely of you for being a supporter of their work since your first visit. It must have been a great feeling to visit few times and see how fast the young ones grow fast. For me it is an eye opener following khanysa's progress as i used to think elephants stay small for a while. But now that she is three years old she is a big girl. So thanks for sharing your time there with us. I am wondering if mum and step dad in their 70s woul love going there as they seem not wanting to travel much in the last few years. Take care 🌹👍🏽
This is beautiful
you are SO SO lucky
I wish I could win the lottery to keep all animals safe. Safe from poachers. Poachers should be shot on site, no questions asked. Animals deserve better, I love elephants, I love them all. If ever I do win big anywhere, A large amount of it will go to help animals in need. Animals are important to me, every one. I commend everyone involved in bringing Manno safely home. These men ,and the whole party deserve recommendations for their love for these animals and their caring. 😊
AMEN
Me too.❤
Wow, what an operation. Way to go, everyone! I see Mama Lundi hawkeyeing him, lol. How difficult it must have been for the carers to keep her from going off in search of him.
It is beautiful the bonds they make
Would love to see Lundi greeting Mambo when he was found and the others reaction .
@ Sarangi Jayamanne ..I only can image how beautiful it was…the carers said Lundi was caressing him … I am so happy for her and that her broken heart was healed. ❤️🩹
Yes
sweet Mama's boy is BACK!! 😑
Did anyone else notice how Lundi thanks Adine by extending her trunk to Adine for bringing back her son the juvenile delinquent Mischievous Mambo! Everyone can exhale now. ❤ It is like what we call an Amber alert for a missing child. I love the Herd!
I'm very happy to know Mambo is back with both his herds - elephant 🐘 and Human 💚 💚
Well done team bless Mambo he doesn't know other humans might do him harm he only knows kindness
Very happy to see you back dear Mambo..congratulations to the team and salute to their hard work n dedication.
🥰
I’d love to be that up close and personal with elephants
I am so happy for Lundi to have her boy Mambo back. It was very strange to see him so still on the ground, I felt for him so much. Love to Mambo ❤
I'm so glad he's home!
Welcome home Mambo🐘🙏
Your grounded for 2weeks😂🤗
As always another awesome video 👍🤗🍀
I thought I wonder if he was put in the naughty corner! 😂. But yes glad the mischievous Mambo is back albeit a tad sore!
"... grounded for 2 weeks..."
Now that literally made me laugh out loud! 😆
The Mission was a success, thank you all. UA-cam community, let’s donate money to pay for this rescue of Mambo
I realize now how serious this was for everyone at HERD. We were all.posting semi comic comments but this was dangerous and serious for Mambo. To the other elephants it was stressful and yes painful to have a member of their family just disappear. I saw the concern Lundi was displaying and can only imagine her fears.
I'm So Sorry this occurred for the carers, the other faithful HERD elephants and especially to our leader Adine. I salute Adine, the carers , the guides, our Dr Roger's and his assistant. I'm sure many of us will help with the cost of getting Mambo back to safety and his family. Adine, once again you show us your fierce dedication, respect , love and leadership skills when we all needed them. We stand with you.
Well done everyone, I am glad he was ok
Thank you so much to all of you,feel so sorry for Mambo and Lundy,God bless all of you for your kind hearts
So very glad Mambo is back home safe and sound with his real herd. Thanks to all concerned, good job guys.
I wish they had filmed the herds reactions when they saw him. What a story with a happy ending thank God. Everyone did such a wonderful job for such a special animal
Ditto
Cara de madre desesperada...
There is à vidéo out now of the heards and Lundi s reaction.
Thank you for taking such good care of the elephants !! ❤🥰❤
Thank you so much for caring and for your great support! 💖🐘
Mambo you are going to give us all a heart attack! I know you want to see the world and lead other elephants but in due time young one. So many have to keep you safe from all of the dangers that's out there. HERD and Everyone involved in bringing Mambo back, YOU ALL ARE AMAZING!💜🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘💜
Oh my , very worrisome . The herd is one again.
What an action!
I'm glad Mambo is back !
Love these elephants ❤️🐘❤️!
I’m sooo glad to see that Mambo was rescued and sent back to mommy~👍
Thank you for sharing this video~🤗
What an adventure he had! Thank goodness he is safe and with his herd. Can’t imagine how upset they were. What a relief and an incredible collaboration.❤
Oh Mambo! Just look at how much your family loves you♥️♥️
Incredible production. This experience shows quite clearly what a tight family unit this is, of elephants and humans.
Ditto
I'm glad he's safe
Thank you to all for ensuring Mambo was found and safely returned to his herd !!! Tigere you are amazing!!
I am so glad that Mambo is back with his family. What a great team you have there to watch over these precious creatures of God.
This is my first time watching this 11 days later! As an avid watcher of Herd for years, I don't know how I missed this! Big Hugh thank you to all there at Herd in finding Mambo! You are all the greatest bunch of human beings for the caring, love and support of these wonderful elephants. I am so extremely happy there was a beautiful ending to this. THANK YOU! ❤
God bless all that helped us find ur buddy. THANKS TO ALL WHO HELPED!!!
Fantastic recovery and extremely interesting ❤
Thank God man has some kindness. ❤
Happy he's home with his family.
So happy Mambo is back. Incredible teamwork. God bless all
Thanks!
Thank you so much for your amazing support and kindness! 🙏🏽🙏🏽
It’s wonderful news that you found him and in good health!!! You explained so well why his return to his herd was so important. Hopefully he stays with his family but time will tell. Good work by everyone!!!
Welcome back Mambo! And thanks to all involved in bringing the Wild Child of the herd home safely. Lundi, you might want to ask Bubi for some parenting tips 😜😂
🤣😂
Outstanding work on rescuing our wayward bull! Welcome home Mambo! That’s enough antics for awhile now, we all need a break including your mom!
Amazing and heartwarming. So many wonderful people to care about big Mambo! Fascinating seeing how it all came together and the devotion and care given to the search. Not only Mambo being stressed, but his family and all the other elephants missing him. Thankful everything worked out.
I'm So Amazed! At How Much CARE You All Give To The Herd! It's So Much Effort By All Of You! You ALL Are Hero's! Angels To These Elephants!
.. So Very Happy that "Mambo" is Back-Home with his "HERD-Family" .. HUGS & KISSES to Everyone & Every-Elephant at "HERD" .. especially "TIGERE" .. He is a Wonderful Man ..🥰😇🙏👍
I am so relieved that Mambo is safe and back with you! Thank you for not giving up!
Mambo Mambo Mambo! You keep us on our toes boy❣️❣️❣️
Amazing. That's like finding and elephant in a haystack. Thanks to everyone involved in returning Mambo to his family ❤️ now.....stay put Mambo!
Congratulations to you all 👍❤️. Excellent work. Lots of love to you all 👍 hi khanisa ❤️
Thank god he is back home. God knows what would have happened to him. Welcome back Mambo💕💕🌸
Wow! What a rescue mission, thank you for sharing this with us. There are so many pieces to not only the rescue but also keeping the herd together and safe. Thank you all for your endless hard word dedication and love for these precious elephants ❤.
I feel for Lundi. Shame man, I hear she was soooo excited when he was found. He probably wants to be mothered but not smothered however it will be terrible to lose him as he's used to humans 😢. The herd would have been upset as they were when Fish went off on his jol. They only calmed down when he got back home. I bet Lundi will not let him out of her sight now, but sometimes she is airey fairy and goes into her own world. I have the greatest respect for Tigere and his guys. Thanks everyone. 👍
I'm soooo glad he's home!! I can Lundi say, Son, I'm glad you're home BUT..... YOU'RE GROUNDED!!
Thanks FAMILY for loving these beauties!!
Glad he got home safe. That little rascal.
Well done AGAiN ADENE ...THANKYOU ...!!!😉😉😉
Wonderful news!
Thank goodness Mambo is safe. Such a errant boy.
Thank you so much for your amazing support and kindness! 🙏🏽🙏🏽
Thank you so much for being so generous and kind. If I were able, I definitely would, so, thank you again.
Mambo so glad you got back home. Thank you so much for using a Heart Full Of Love For The Herd, Mambo had everyone nervous!😒 God Is Good everyone have a bless weekend!! Big Thanks To Everybody To Help Out🐘🐘🐘
The runaway boy! Tremendous job after so much anxiaty! Congratulations!
I am so relieved you were able to find Mambo. I was worried the entire time he was missing.❤️
Explanation for the necessity of Mambo's return makes perfect sense. Glad mission was successful.
thank GOD found mumbo I just love him so much I'm glad that he's ok please send more kisses 😄😆😉😘
Welcome Mambo and thanks for all the wonderful team and fantastic herd. Love from France :-)
What a mischievous 'little' rascal Mambo is, aye?! Glad to see him back with the herd😍👍
That was emotional, and it’s SO great to see Mambo back with his family, his herd!🐘🥰🥰🥰🧡🐘🐘
Bad Mambo! Adine, you must have been so worried. I was as concerned for you and Lundi . Thanks for loving them so much.
I know he was only sedated, but, it was hard for me to watch Mambo lying down like that! I love Mambo very much!
Same here, I teared up seeing him down like that.
@@laylam3042 I think about how scared he must have been with the helicopter following him.
.. Me-Too .. Very Distressing to see "Mambo" so "Helpless" .. I am So-Relieved that he is Safe now .. I wish he could "roam-free" to create his own "family-herd", but I understand that the "timing & circumstances" of doing this is "Extremely Dangerous" for him ..
It was very distressing even for us it is never an easy thing to do.
The whole operation and everyone who took part in finding Mambo was extraordinary. Lundi will not let her naughty boy, Mambo, out of her sight now. Thanks to everyone.
Be still my heart! ❤
Thank goodness he's home!💚
Wow, seeing a man next to Mambo laying down really gives me a sense of how large he is! So happy that he was returned unharmed. I guess he went looking for adventure and perhaps a girlfriend 💕🐘
😃We never know with Mambo... a special child indeed
Oh Mambo! Mambo! Mambo! Crazy teenager! Look at the trouble you caused everyone just because you wanted to be a big man! I hope he grows out of this stage soon! (I'm sure you all do, too!) This has rally endeared me to him, though. I was always a little frustrated with him and the trouble he caused but now I feel for him. Poor guy. I"m glad he is back with family!
Wow, what a search! Maybe he just went on walkabout. Glad he's OK and all your staff are too. 😊
Mambo is such an interesting elephant. He's growing up and needs to sow his oats, driving his mother crazy while he's doing it. At least he's home and the family can start to relax. God bless Lundi for her motherly patience.
How thoughtful to bring the herd to his awakening. No small feat. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
So happy Mambo is back with the heard 🐘
That bull could move fast! This is coming out of your allowance Mambo and no driving for a month, 😆😆. He could have been injured by the wild bulls and that would really be sad for his own herd. Even with elephant teenagers, it’s always something. Excellent recovery by all involved. That boy needs a tracking device on him.
ok so he did what ALL teenagers do , run and try to meet new friends🥰🥰🥰
glad he was back to his family, and thank you all for such incredible work, Lady Lundi is so happy to have her older baby back♥
This cost a small fortune. PLEASE, if you can DONATE! You can access their donation site thru the blog.
It actually wasn't too expensive considering they did two missions. 30,000 South African Rands is $1,623. That's pretty cheap
Thank you for helping us to better understand about elephant male behavior. I appreciate your expetise, integrity, and heart as caretakers to this beloved herd. 💞
thank god they found Mambo, sooo happy the whole herd is reunited. GREAT job ev1, thank you soo much for all your efforts. i am very happy Mambo is back with his herd.
So glad Mambo is safe and home. Thank you to everyone in this rescue mission.
Oh Mambo!💜
I'm glad that Mambo is safe 🐘🙏Thank you all herd🐘💎
Thank you all for what you do ♥️🐘
That Mambo is such a character!
WELCOME HOME Mambo! Thank you all for your care while he was away from💜💜
Wonderful teamwork. So grateful to all for finding Mambo and bringing him back. Although costly the happiness of the herd and carers is priceless. ❤️💕🐘👏
And a big thank you to everyone who helped locate Mambo.
Glad Mambo is back with His Family ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I'm glad Mambo was found safe and sound and brought back to his family. He needs his herd and they need him. Including his human herd.
Love you Mambo you naughty boy
Such dedication and care. What a rascal. There’s always one. So glad it worked out well.
💫💞♥️🐘♥️💞💫...You worried your poor Mama, little guy! So relieved you're back safe.
I am so thankful that Mambo 🐘 was found. Thank you to everyone who assisted in locating Mambo 🐘. I am so happy for Lundi 🐘 getting her son back. I am sure the whole Jabulani HERD 🐘 (both 2 legged and 4 legged) was missing their mischievous family member. We all love you Mambo 🐘. ❤️🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘❤️
Mambo, you naughty boy. Your mother will be all up in your business now. Teenagers are such a handful. 💖💖🐘🐘
I love Mambo ❤️ He is feisty and independent and brave. I'm so glad he is back to his family.
Teen rebel! Naughty boy.
So happy Mambo's back! He's a rascal!!❤️
