Jabulani and the herd:
There is a unique, special and intense but a wonderful story behind how Elephant Moments came into existence…
It all started with a rescued 4 month old elephant calf in June 1997. The orphan was named Jabulani which means ‘to rejoice’. After a year of nursing Jabulani back to health, the process was put into place to re-introduce him back into the bush. Despite numerous attempts, Jabulani kept returning to his human family. Years later, a rescue mission was put into place in March 2002, after word was received that a Zimbabwean elephant herd was facing a grisly and untimely end. Learn all about their story when you visit Elephant Moments.
Their caretakers:
They work with some of the best elephant carers in the world. These men come from different regions in Africa, from Zimbabwe to Cape Town to Mozambique, all with many years of experience living with rescued elephants.
