Setombe’s lesson ~ Take it easy and surround yourself with those who have your back 🌼

Born in approximately 1985, Setombe is part of the original herd that was rescued from Zimbabwe. While we have little information about her formative years, we believe she may have had some bad experiences in her youth, as she battles to trust, and is often wary and skittish.

Personality:
Setombe could very well have been the Matriarch of the herd, due to her age and body size, but she is a very nervous elephant and is neither a good decision-maker nor a leader. She is a quiet but also curious elephant and likes to be in between the herd, especially with Sebakwe and her daughter, Klaserie, because it makes her feel more protected.

Setombe was recently introduced to the new orphan Khanyisa, and as to be expected she was very calm and relaxed, often taking the opportunity to smell her often.

The birth of Setombe’s daughter Klaserie in 2007 was a very significant event for us, as it showed that she had settled down in her new environment with us. If she had been stressed, she would not have conceived. The birth also had a calming effect on her.

Physical Traits:
She is the biggest (widest and tallest) female of the Jabulani herd, with tusks that are longer and thinner than the other females. Her head is more angular and her skin is quite a bit more wrinkly than the other elephants.

Foster sweet Setombe 🌸
