Camp Jabulani's herd has matured over time to become a very close knit family group. They each have their own character, and just like a human family, have unique bonds with one another.

Since the arrival of Limpopo in August 2006, three additional babies have joined the Camp Jabulani herd - Klaserie, Zindoga and Mambo. The intra-herd dynamics have changed significantly since their arrival. While wild elephants group themselves in matriarchal herds, with male bull elephants joining the herds from time to time and having little to do with the younger members - Camp Jabulani's herd are all involved. The males have become as attached to the youngsters as the females.

The art of motherhood is something that is usually passed on from generation to generation. Camp Jabulani's elephants had no experience with childbirth or childrearing. It therefore came as a huge shock to the elephants when they were confronted with this massive unchartered challenge.

But Tokwe took to the job admirably, and together the herd has learned to become a more relaxed and stable one.

The babies have added a touch of colour with their delightful antics and playful nature.

The Camp Jabulani herd has recently welcomed another new member. Only this time, it is not the birth of another baby - but instead the introduction of a vulnerable and traumatised young elephant from a farm in Zimbabwe, flanking Botswana. She has been named "Kumbura", meaning "Remembrance".
