Baby elephants Khanyisa and Fenya in person without any divisions for the first time!🥰🥰

How exciting! Khanyisa and Fenya met for the first time without any division between them this morning☀️.

Carers Josh and Stavros watched with much glee as Khanyisa poked her head around curiously into Fenya's nursery! Fenya kept her distance at first, and then soon decided to join Khanyisa.

It was very calm and peaceful as they stood side by side for a short while, but then they both decided to move to opposite sides of the orphanage. Bless! It will take some time. We must say Khanyisa has seemed to be very relaxed with Fenya moving into her nursery, she has adapted well to moving next door. We did that to give Fenya a bigger area with an outdoor area that she can roam freely in as she gets used to the larger area of the orphanage.

Shortly after, Khanyisa left to join the herd, as they set out into the reserve for aa day of foraging.

Fenya stayed behind with Lammie and some of our care team and was soon chasing Lammie around. They settled a little while later and enjoyed munching on the orphanage grass together.

Jabulani, an older bull who is also an orphan that was rescued in 1997, made an appearance in the distance but did not come much nearer. Many of our followers will recall how he often came and spent time at the fence with Khanyisa as she was healing. It will be interesting to see if he does the same with Fenya.

Fenya is doing okay - her condition is similar to yesterday, though she slept a little bit more, however, she is still not lying down completely. You can see her energy is still a bit low - but it was great to see her out in the orphanage eating and relaxing at her easy pace.

Thanks for all the love and support again!
Look out for our "Little by Little" Fundraising campaign we are launching on Monday - details will be posted in YOUTUBE community soon!
