Kipekee – here adopting a frog pose more commonly associated with Korbessa – is no longer the smallest member of the Nursery herd. That distinction now belongs to tiny Zuri. But being the second-smallest doesn't mean she gets any less attention from the Nursery's mini matriarchs.

We're delighted – at long last – to introduce three very special orphaned elephants: Dabida, Seri and Ushindi. Their stories began during the brutal 2022 drought in southern Tsavo. Our Voi Reintegration Unit found itself at the epicentre of the crisis.

Lemeki and Thamana wasted no time this morning. As the water bowser rolled in to top up the trough at Voi, the two were straight there – drinking their fill before the fresh water had even settled. This is one of a dozen water bowsers we operate, travelling across Tsavo filling waterholes.

Kaikai has earned herself a new nickname: Little Disturbance. She’s taken to dashing back from the bush whenever she feels like it, trumpeting loudly as she runs and making quite an entrance. Bungalu, by contrast, is patient and never rushes anywhere.
It’s Kaikai’s world and we just live in it!

We had a surprising leader of the dawn patrol this morning. Usually, the ex-orphans are led by one of the ex-orphan matriarchs – but today, it was a big wild bull, with plenty of swagger to spare. He knew the routine and was eager to take charge! Every elephant here is living wild in Tsavo East.

Today marks two years since Wamata was rescued! When she was found, Wamata was utterly alone in Tsavo East – a milk-dependent calf who had somehow kept herself alive by eating vegetation. In her early days, she could be found delicately selecting the best leaves while others guzzled milk.

Two years ago today, our pilot Neville spotted a lone elephant calf during an aerial patrol along the Tiva River in northern Tsavo East. No mother, no herd – and repeated sweeps found no family nearby.
KWS greenlit a rescue and our teams moved in.
