Our elephants are drawn to the lush vegetation found in and around water bodies. Aquatic grasses provide a nutritious and abundant food source. These grasses, rich in nutrients, help sustain the elephants' massive bodies.

Elephants are a keystone species, playing a vital and irreplaceable role in the ecosystems they live in. As ecosystem engineers, they help shape their environment in many ways, such as dispersing seeds, clearing forests, and creating new water sources for smaller animals. The waterholes they create provide essential drinking spots not just for the elephants, but for a wide variety of other wildlife as well.

Elephants are known for their complex social behaviors, and our elephants, Bakari and Moketsi, are no exception. Not only do they share a strong bond with each other, but they've also formed an unexpected friendship with our cheeky ostriches. Bakari and Moketsi often engage in friendly play fights to test each other's strength and establish dominance. The ostriches enjoy playfully challenging them, and the elephants respond with patience and good spirits.

What an amazing photo of Moketsi ❤ An African elephant’s ears are twice as large as those of Asian elephants and are shaped in the form of the African continent, adding a bit of mother nature’s artistic touch! When Moketsi flaps his ears, the air temperature increases, which enables him to regulate his body temperature more effectively. Elephants also have acute hearing that allows them to hear low-frequency sounds, granting them a heightened awareness of their surroundings. In the presence of our gentle giants, we remember our role as stewards of nature.

Elephants need to bathe frequently to keep their skin healthy. Frequent baths help them regulate body temperature and they often spray themselves with water to stay cool. Elephants cover themselves in mud as a protective measure against the sun and insects. When the mud dries, they scrub against trees to shed any clinging insects or parasites.

As a keystone species, elephants assume a crucial and irreplaceable role within the ecosystems they inhabit. They consume vast amounts of vegetation, including trees, bushes, grasses, fruits and seeds. Seeds pass through their digestive system unharmed and are deposited elsewhere in their dung. This process helps in the propagation of many plant species, ensuring biodiversity within their habitat.
