- Happy Elephant Appreciation Day! Our favourite kind of day!
In this lengthy clip taken in July, Jabulani GM Stefan sits beside the dam while the Jabulani herd enjoy their daily visit to this waterhole playground, enjoying one of their favourite pastimes, swimming, bathing, playing and splashing in the cool water!
You’ll see little albino elephant orphan, Khanyisa with the elephants, (it was one of the earlier swims she did!) as Stefan explains a few interesting insights into elephant behaviour. The weather was windy - so please forgive the audio quality at times.
Considering the threats that elephants face with poaching and habitat loss, we never take for granted the beauty of seeing both the Jabulani herd and the wild elephants in our Reserve roaming in the wilderness and enjoying nature as nature intended.
Thank you for always joining us in our tales of elephant life and wisdom!

The herd loves baby Khanyisa. Look at how they surround her as she frolics in the mud. Amazing creatures. Better than some humans 🐘❤🐘❤
No doubt about that!
that cute baby loves loves water, they all do, i second that, i love water myself i could be dipping in lake or sea, love it
i love you all Jabulani HERD thank you all who help so much
and of course i love you khanyisa
She is doing so well with the Jubalani...she is fitting right in. Im so glad for all of them and all of you.
That was relaxing to watch. I loved the giraffes in the background too. Heavenly.
All the videos of Jabulani and HERD are a delight to watch. My zen for the day. Thank you for sharing! 💙
When Lundi ran Mambo off, he looked at the camera like, I wasn’t even doing anything!
That's Princess K's moma. She will protect her from everyone.
So many like lying down, but I love the one who spent most of his/her time being a submarine.
Thank you for sharing your knowedge of elephants with us. It is interesting to see another perspective on Khanyisa's acceptance into the herd. The elephants protect her as if Lundi had birthed her. So awesome.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Herd cuteness ❤️ thanks for explaning what is happening ❤️🙏
Any time!
How they protect her💕. How wonderful👍🏻!! Baby K saying I am lying down now....milk later😂
Always a joy to watch! ❤️🇺🇸
Thanks Jabulani.
Awesome. Thank you for continuing sharing your knowledge about elephants.
She's so smart isn't she. She'll only come when she's good and ready, thank you.
How cute they protect her in all ways wo
Always :-)
Neat got to see all 16 of them.
Such privilege to watch from new Zealand 💘🇳🇿😍
Amazing people, keepers....
Love these amazing elephants and people looking after them and more interesting elephant info.🥰🐘🌍☀️💜
community of gentle giants 😍 wow
Thank you Ruan for all the information. Love to see them enjoying the water 💞
Another beautiful video!! Thank You Stefan for the wonderful commentary! 🙏🙏🙏 💛🐘💛
Thank you
You're welcome
@@Jabulani Can they please speak louder. I couldn't hear a word that was said.
Ha ha! She just wanted to rest! How they all protect her! It's just beautiful
Thank you for the video 💕💕
Thank you for sharing ! I love to hear about them it’s like being there with you guys 🐘 love from Australia 🦘🦘
The carers really understands these gentle giants! Wonderful! Thanks for sharing!
Yes, they do!
They knew how to step back because Lundi wasn't letting anybody near her baby girl.
Turn up the volume
Wonderful description of elephant water activities! Thank you.
Whoever was talking did a great job 👍 and I really enjoyed it because I learned so much. I noticed giraffes 🦒 in the background. These beautiful animals would terrify me because they are huge. 🥰
Anyone who would kill them should be put in jail for life!
Thank you😍💕💕😘😘
Wow, great.
Thank you John!
Adine can you tell me what time it is right now at your place thanks
Lil K said no bottles in public. I’m a big ELLIE. THIS WAS SO GOOD THANKS
Khanyisa looks so tiny with the herd around the damn. Interesting to see how protective they are of Khanyisa even from all of you. They have eyes in the back of their heads :-) I can sit and watch them all day long.
this is the first video I hae watched that had someone talking about the behaviour of all the elephnts,,,what a wonderful thing to do,,,really enjoyed the video much more so we can know what is going on since there is such a familial attitude of all the big ones
Additional thought: Jabulani's greatest Gift to Miss Khanyisa is her adoption by the Elephant Matriarchy...the Mother and Child re-union.
I so love the way the elephants all surround her and protect her. Khanyisa is so well loved by the hers.Wonderful and informative video about their behavior.
I'm surprised you can hear anything they are saying. It sounds just like background mumbling to me. I have a hearing problem. So I guess that's why I can't hear it.
I missed almost all of the discussion, and I don't have a hearing problem. Would love would love to learn more, but the audio is awful!! Very frustrating.
Khanysia looks sooo tiny 🐘💚
Thank you for this wonderful video. Elephant society is so evolved. I wish some people could learn to be more like our "wild" animals.
God bless, xxx.
... just not the part about eating the flora in the intestine 🤭
That was so awesome and informative. Thank you so much. I appreciate you sharing all this information that I didn't know, but elephants have been a passion of mine years before I come across this channel. Thank you 😊
Much as I adore these majestic animals......no way would I want to be at the back of an “elephant full of gas” lol
Thanks for another great vlog,full of facts & stunning visuals ❣️🏴🇬🇧
Moma Lundi won't let ANYBODY near her baby. She doesn't care who it is. She had back up to. 😆 They surrounded her as if lions was coming after her. We know our pretty pink baby will be well protected from everything. ❤
Khanyisa def'ly has her priorities - Mud Bath + Watering Hole: 1st
Milk: Later...
If possible, speak closer + more loudly into mic...difficult 2hear!
Great info, TY! 👍🐘🐘🐘💞
While I LuV watching your videos, It's hard to hear what is being said...sounds far away in a tunnel....also the wind interferes with sounds while filming...😢😢
I still watch the videos...☺
It's the same for me. I get a headache tying to hear and understand what they are saying. I have a hearing problem and I keep hoping they will speak up.
We are profoundly grateful that you continue to watch despite our shortcomings, thank you.
So the dung is a bit like a probiotic for the elephants
Exactly that
Cannot hear you
look now 23 august 2021 again so lovely to see Plash and jump in the lake Khanyisa walk fast she want to swim
I want to go to that pool party! I love how they're one big family. My heart melted when I thought 1 of the elephants gave little Khanyisa a nudge to help her get out of the water near the end of video. Do all the elephants listen to Tokwe, the matriarch, even the big bulls? This is their Garden of Eden.
Great info!
Thanks a million!
♥️🐘
I so wished I could have heard all of what the guy was saying,,,due to the wind I couldnt hear,,,,
Poopy time in the water.A natural way of getting rid of waste🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘.
Wow! So the Hierarchy established itself around Khanyisa. Whoa, boy...and poor Mambo...he wants acceptance?
🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🥰
I love what I hear, when I can hear it: Bluetooth headset mic. :)
A foam sleeve will block the wind noise.
That stampede at the start tho
Sadly i was unable to hear stephan ... not loud enough
Fascinante es ver a toda la manada de elefantes bañándose en la Laguna la bebé elefantita KHANYISA 🐘 muy protegida ADINE pendiente para ofrecerle una botella con leche a Khanyisa 🐘 el grupo de señores cuidadores cada uno tiene a su cargo varios elefantes luego sedan un revolcón en el barro Gracias por compartir interesante momento
This is a good video, except often the speaker's voice cannot be heard due to wind in the microphone. Perhaps accurate captions can be added (because the closed captions are often incorrect or missing) and sometimes run across the top of the video (the sky) so as to allow viewers to see the main subjects of the video (the elephants, Khanyisa, the humans).
@jabulani try bringing another orphan or 2 into the herd as I miss the boisterous welcoming celebrations with all the trumpeting as a herd would do welcoming a new baby.
2:38 why was Tokwe being scolded?
🤗♥️🙏✌️✝️🇳🇴🌝God Bless You all 🙏🤗💕
With wild animals, you can never, ever lose your guard. Anything can happen. If there is a youngster there with horns and jealous of her then maybe bring him a snack too while she is getting her bottle. This may decrease any chances of...u know...anything crazy happening.
Too bad we can't actually hear a word.
When do the rains come?
Adine can you tell me what time it is right at your place thanks
It appears that the care takers of the herd are seeking to secure some support and I'm wondering why they wouldn't consider opening up the facility to outside volunteers for a fee as other facilities have done.
What happened to Fishan?
Just wondering if there any plan to make visiting the herd somewhat affordable? Right now, the cost of staying at the Jabulani lodge seems very expensive.
I enjoy watching the little Khanysia videos, but I have a very hard time hearing the narrators💕🌳🐘🌞
Are the female elephants kept on any sort of birth control so they do not add to the herd? Just wondering if they are allowed to breed or not?? Or, if the males are not surgically castrated? Both so they cannot impregnate the females, while at the same time stopping them from ever entering musthe so they wont be aggressive and dangerous??
Yes they are on contraception - as it is not part of our objectives to breed with them! :-)
Is everything Ok there? We worry because what happened a few days ago when Hundreds of elephants dead in mysterious mass die-off in Botswana
Hope the poison will not travel further
I thought that was in March? Did more die recently, I didn't hear this?
They are behaving perfectly as any herd would with a baby! Building an elephant wall! I can see how difficult and potentially dangerous this can be! Would it not be wise to bring something that the elephants see as a tempting enough healthy treat to distract them a bit while you give her a bottle? It would be awful if someone, or the baby got hurt in the scuffle.
I don't think is good time to feed her, is time to let her enjoy her own company elephants herd let her be for one moment.
We should be enjoying these videos, and learning about these amazing animals, not telling those that are so knowledgeable in the care of these elephants how to treat them!
