Chikumbi meets the nursery herd

Not too long ago, we shared the rescue story of four-month-old Chikumbi, a tiny elephant calf who was spotted wandering alone.

With the support of DSWF, she is now being rehabilitated by our ground-based conservation partners, Game Rangers International (GRI), who continue to provide her with much-needed comfort and reassurance.

As Chikumbi settles into her new home, we’re pleased to share with you this heart-warming video which shows her meeting her new family for the first time. 

This is a big step in a very long journey for this young calf and we need your help to continue providing her and other orphan elephants with a chance of a life back in the wild, where they belong.
