13 Rescued Elephants Swimming Blissfully in the Dam | Khanyisa Included!

A busy day at the waterhole as 13 of the 16 elephants in the rescued herd all take to the water of the dam for a midday swim! Fishan is in deep and takes up playing with a giant log, splashing it about in the water, the way Sebakwe is often seen doing. On this day Sebakwe has other things in mind, like beating Mambo at sparring challenges on the other side of the dam!

Lundi is even in the water as the day heats up and swimming right beside her is her adopted daughter, elephant calf Khanyisa - Khanyisa is a little more visible with her washed pink body bobbing in the dam. Close to Khanyisa are trusty allomothers, Limpopo and Kumbura.

Kumbura steps in when she notices Zindoga getting a little boisterous around Timisa and she takes the bull on to protect the little orphan she is always protective over. It's amazing to watch Kumbura in action as she is the great defender of those in need!

Bubi is close to her son, Zindoga and enjoying her corner of the water, while on the banks Somopane, Setombe and her daughter Klaserie prefer to stay dry and enjoy the sand and mud on the edges. Jabulani heads to the banks and soon Lundi, Khanyisa and Limpopo join him.

Tokwe rises up out of the water and displays her beautiful tusks. Her daughter Limpopo is resembling her more and more each day, with her own pair of long, rounded tusks. Pisa splashes about with Timisa and Kumbura too, enjoying young female bonding, while Fishan is happy to his side and not ready to leave the waterhole!

All the elephants different personalities really show when they're swimming and enjoying themselves in nature. Find out more about the elephants here: https://herd.org.za/the-jabulani-herd/
