In such a short time, Phabeni has gone from a traumatized, starving infant who wouldn't even take milk; to a happy, engaged little fellow, ready to integrate into his new family. The level of care, commitment, and expertise shown by everyone at HERD is so inspiring. Deep Thanks!
Yes he officially a member of the Jabulani crew!!badge#17 newest young good will ambassador to the world.A new family of super stars !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!usa.
Exactly!! Joyous to witness, in this crazier-than-ever world... Thank you for giving us love, hope, respect, dignity and so many other beautiful, positive values to focus on... May the blessings continue to rain down upon HERD in ever-increasing volume ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I didn't expect to see Phabeni with the Herd,so was a lovely surprise.!! It's always special to see Khanyisa and progressing so well with all her brothers and sisters.!! A brilliant, happy start to the day.!! Thank you. 🎉😮🏴
Adine you and your caregivers are doing a great job one day doesn't matter we love all the work you and your caregivers are doing and we are glad to be part of the family keep safe and be blessed 🎉😂❤ ohhh phabei is out with you just so cute 🎉😂❤
My goodness, Adine. Your life is so very full. Beautiful days with the ellie family. Not to mention all of the paperwork and managing The Herd. Wishing you a long and happy life. Please remember to take care of yourself too. You are the matriarch of the herd, really. Love you.
Amen! Those ellies couldn’t ask for a better Matriarch. And the carers are an outstanding group of aunties and uncles, too. Love and gratitude to all. ❤
My eyes felt like they were getting to be the size of my heart watching it all! It's almost too glorious for words. And I could also feel this fantastic community of elephant/ HERD lovers... in awe and gratitude. Good night, friends 🇸🇿🌍🌿🦋🐘🐘🐘🫒🐑🐕🙏🌙✨️
Phabeni is definitely keeping up with Setombe! His little legs were just moving to keep up with the herd. I hope Lundi will be okay with his choice. But I think they are all going to protect him Just the same. He is the baby of the Herd after all, and a lovable one at that!❤🐘🙏
Thanks for that. I know it's now after Phabeni is gone 💟 but I wondered if Setombe had a boy as she has a stronger touch with him when she swings her trunk.🐘
This is so exciting to finally see our little Phabeni with the entire herd! He looks absolutely elated following Setombe and wonderful to see what a amazing big sister Khanyisa is to him. What a great day! 🥰
Congratulations to everyone at HERD on this achievement, Phabeni is adopted into the family! So wonderful to see your hard work come to fruition. And Setombe accepting this little fellow as her own, simply magical! Well done!!!
In only 3 months, too. Just rewatched Phabeni's arrival video... What a brave little hero he is. To see how elephants treat one another is such an affirmative event. Wow is right. Something good in this world today. ❤
It is a very big surprise to see little Phabeni in the whole herd. I did nit hear about Limpopo. How difficult will it be to give Phabeni his milk all few hours day and night. 😮 Kkanyisa takes 4 bottles in once time and need it till she will be three years old. Phabeni is not even 1 year old. 😢
I got such a surprise when I saw Phabeni! ...and he's up there moving along at a pace. Very proud of big sister Khayanisa, she's not jealous at all. Thank you Adine and team, for all you do for these precious souls.
So precious phabeni is now part of the family herd 🐘 so happy ❤🤗🐘 so beautiful to see him out there with the big elephants, and Khayanisa is a very sweet sister didn't expect that though see would be jealous well done everyone for making this happen for baby phabeni 🐘🤗💞
Hello Adine, and all the caregivers, greeting from France, near Pyrénées moutains! I’m following you and your so big family, each day for breakfast. It’s always a good time, to begin the day with all of you, little Phabeni, Khanyisa, Timisa, Pisa, Tokwe, Lundi, Bubi, Setombe and her loving daughter, and the entire herd too. I’m 72 old, and I love so much wild animals, so I’m enjoyed to follow your very big children and your comments. Have a good day, all of you! Catherine
Thank you Adine for updating your RUclips followers. I am not on social media, not my thing, so I am grateful that you have shared this exciting news with us. Phabeni looks confident walking with the HERD. He must remember when he used to do this with his birth mother and family. My heart is filled with joy and to think that the other solution of the authorities was to put him down. Thank you again to the kind neighbour who rescued Phabeni from her garden and contacted the elephant rescue service. Phabeni you are an amazing little boy!❤🐘♥️
I’m so happy to see Phabeni with the HERD, but especially with Setombe, it was obvious she fell totally and completely in love with that tiny boy! He seemed to be able to reach to suckle a little better!!
Phabini is in the bush!!!! OMG!! He is absolutely AMAZING!!!! My God what an outstanding Warrior!! No fear! Such an Amazing Ele and I'm so very, very happy he has found a family that is looking out for him!! The little guy has been thru so much and had recovered like a BOSS!! I want to hug the entire HERD! So much love, and understanding! I'm welling up right now. Thank you to EVERYONE at HERD who made this possible! Nothing but LOVE for everyone there, You are all amazing human beings!!
I loved seeing most of the Herd again. I hadn't realized how much I missed them until this video. FishtheMan looks goid, but I only saw him from behind. Someone has a owie on their left hip, but I only saw from behind. Then the awww moment and we see Phabeni. It really stopped my breathing for a second. I wasn't sure if this was a older video from khanysia bring that tiny, but then Adine said Phabeni name. How Amazing Is That!!! Phabeno is very special to so rapidly and easily integrate into the Herd . That Setombe is going to be his Mom is another stunner. For Setombe just isn't a fuzzy warm kinda elephant, and has strong attachment to klasserie and Sebakwe only. I was hoping Bubi would be his Mom, cause I see a kindred spirit in Bubi and Phabeni. Besides she always is last too many times. This video was a stunner. Thank you
Can't wait to hear how each elephant we haven't yet see met Phabeni and what was their reaction? How is Lundi taking Phabeni suckling from Setombe? How did Bubi react? And Mambo Zindoga and Fishan? And where is Sweet and Beautiful Timisa and Cutie Pie Pisa? I am so happy to see this swift integration. But we're all awaiting the recap of how it went with each of them! Thanks!
Yup! Waiting for the tea.😁Especially with Lundi since Adine did mention in one of the recent videos, that Lundi had on her own, made her way to the homestead garden to wait for Phabeni in the mornings after their initial introduction.
I'm sure the herd members are delighted to have Phabeni join them. Hopefully they won't think they need to kidnap a baby from the wild herd now. Khanyisa is so big! She has grown so fast and is still so engaging. Amazing job HERD team. Thank you for the wonderful work you do, taking care of these ellies.
I literally screamed with joy when I saw Khanyisa. I teared up a little knowing she isnt the baby but then I screamed with joy louder when I saw Phabeni with them. I take it Setombe wont let him leave her lol 😅. He is such a trooper. In this short time he was a little traumatized baby that was so shy and now he is out walking with the herd. Im so proud of him and all of you. Adine your such an inspiration. Thank you again for this channel it really brings peace to my soul.
Phabeni's rapid turn from traumatized, grief-stricken and introverted to being introduced to Jabu + Lundi, then surprizingly adopted by Setombe (a 1st for her to adopt!!), now fully embraced by the entire herd, and venturing into the bush is AMAZING!!! Phabeni even came over to say "Good Morning" to his 1st adoptive momma, Adine, @ 12:35-12:50 mark! HOW PRECIOUS is this little man?!! So loving and -- now -- sooo happy too! JOY-JOY-JOY! BLESS YOU ALL for LOVING + CARING for Phabeni and all the wounded, broken-hearted babies that come your way! 💞
My heart skipped a beat when I saw our little Phabeni walking with the Herd!!!! Such wonderful news! You Adine and the Carers are so incredible. Thank you for all you do for the beautiful elephants. YAY PHABENI!!!! And Khanyisa....such a good girl for being so nice to your new little brother!
Setombe has decided Phabeni is her baby now, and I think he has made up his mind, too. So sweet to watch. And Khayanisa is so sweet, a wonderful sister for him! Such beautiful country and lovely company for a nice walk ;)
How exciting to see Phabeni fully integrated into the herd during the daytime, and out in the bush with them! Phabeni is just the cutest little guy ever! I’m thrilled by this news and happy you shared it tonight! Sending ☮️❤️🌍🐘 to all at HERD from 🇺🇸(West Coast)!🙋🏼♀️
So awesome to see Phabeni with the herd. I was so surprised and thrilled to see him. His integration is just moving right along. Appears he's been fully accepted at this point, yes?
Great to see little Phabeni out with the grownups and looking confident and relaxed. And Khanyisa being so good to her little brother. She's such a nice natured gentle girl. They're both doing so well after a very difficult start to life. Loving this channel.
I wanted to see Tokwe meeting Phabeni. I'm so happy to see him walking with his herd. I'm also glad to know that Khanyisa is doing well with Phabeni. He's made such amazing progress in such a short period of time. Setombe and Lundi sure stepped up as great allomothers. My heart is full! Thanks to all. Love from Maryland USA.❤❤❤
Just went to rewatch the Nov. 20 video of Phabeni's arrival at HERD. My heart's completely full. Thank you for sharing one of the most compelling and wonderful things humans can be on this Earth... to benefit a helpless creature - Hey, everyone: 😂 Group hug.❤🐘
What a nice surprise to see Phabene walking with his new family. Thank you Adine and caregivers for all the continuous work you do to help these precious elephants. May God keep blessing you all with great health, because these elephants need you. They know, that you love them.They can feel your love and dedication. I remember Khanysia's first walk with the herd. Look at her now, quite a grownup young lady.❤❤❤
This was unexpected, getting to see a livesteam from you at HERD. I was SO thrilled to see Phabeni following Setombe and knowing the close relationship he will have with Khanisa and Kumbura as well. These elephants are absolutely amazing and the human species would be better off if we acted more like elephants in the way we raise our children! So sweet to see how Phabeni has been accepted. I look forward to seeing him grow as Khanyisa has! Well done to you all! It is after 5pm here in country NSW Australia and its hot here too!
What a beautiful surprise! It seems that Phabeni picked Setombe...is it because she is lower to the ground to suckle? Its absolutely beautiful regardless of the reason!! Seeing Khanyisa with a laid back attitude puts us all at ease! Limpopo and Kumbura both inquisitive..Tokwe and Bubi seem un affected..and didnt see the rest of the herds reaction...but its obvious he's sure been accepted! I would have never dreamed of this outcome!! It's marvelous!! He will have lots of allo mothers and brothers and sisters...and his fearless determination will make him a much loved little bull of this Herd. I couldnt be happier! Really looking forward to this journey that makes the Herd 17 Strong!! Bless you Adine! ❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you for sharing your magnificent life with us❤❤ It is beautiful how Khanyisa integrated in the Herd family. Your love and care nurtured her and continues to nurture her❤❤❤It is so exciting to see Phabeni walking with her new family❤❤❤
Oh, what exciting happy news! Your love and work make miracle! And how quick Setombe became Phabenis mother forever! The blessed elephant and human family❤🐘💛🧡
Oh my word. Now this was very exciting to see. Phabeni 🐘 integrated into the whole Jabulani HERD 🐘. It looks like from this point Setombe 🐘 is who Phabeni 🐘 has chosen to be his adopted mama. I am so proud of Setombe 🐘. It goes to show you, you can't judge a book by it's cover. I think she has amazed all of us. Love to everyone at HERD ❤️🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘❤️
Buon giovedì mattina 11,08 ,cara Dorothy anch'io sono rimasta sorpresa della scelta di Phabeni e ancor più della passeggiata con tutti gli elephants! Phabeni a suo agio con mamma Setombe e con tutti, Khanyisa non è gelosa mi piace questa cosa! Ciao ( hi)?
So happy to see Phabeni accepted by Setombe and Klaserie so curious about him. Thanks for your care Adine- love to all the carers- your affection for all these animals is onfectious. Luv❤ from Jacksonville FL USA
Congratulations with Phabini's intro with the HERD ❤ I watched that video several times it was to me nerve racking yet Heart warming to see the massive creatures behave so diligent amongst the tiny Phabeni. Setombe just took to the little one so quickly and the patience she had to win His heart. As I've learned the quicker you get them with the HERD the better for Phabeni❤. They all look very happy and content especially your little Khanysia who has a very special place in your heart Adine. God bless the HERD ❤🙏🦣🐘🐑🙏
Óla 👋 What a wonderful moment 😍 Phabeni walking with all his family, it’s so heartwarming ♥️ Thank you so much Adine and all the team to share this video 🙏💝 I do not know the weather we will have here in south west of France today but I have my sunshine in my heart with this beautiful ride with all our protégés 🫶 What a wonderful work you have all done in such a short time… what a pleasure to see the accomplishment of all your efforts with Phabeni walking today among his family as he was born in this herd, what a magnificent work done 🙏👏 and also such a courageous little cutie 💕 As for me my day is already beautiful ☀️⭐️✨ Big hugs to everyone at Herd, to all our so beloved ellies, Adine, all the so devoted caretakers and the whole team, without forgetting Lammie, Spotty and Nandi 👋😘😘😘
Good morning All, yes it is early in the morning 1a, I like to watch Adine's & the Carer's "Children" the gentle giants, I was so excited to see baby Phabeni walking amongst the whole herd wow, and I read the comments they are so beautiful and kind, this is such a wonderful sight to see this morning 😊, Khanyisa the little big girl, is loving this little baby boy as well good girl, Good Job Adine and all the Carers
I'm literally in tears. Your work with these beautiful animals is showing the world how it can and should be done. And look at this amazing little guy! He knows he's back where he belongs, with these beautiful accepting elephants. So wonderful to see Khanysa as just one of the family, as if she was born to them. I have no words! Thank you!!! ❤💕
That was a long walk for tiny Phabeni. It is amazing how smoothly Phabeni integrated with the whole herd. Just beautiful. I love these elephants, every one of them.
I loved every single second of this. What a champ Mr Cuteness is. And I love the natural chemistry he had with Setombe the moment she saw him. Match made in heaven. I'm so looking forward to the last videos of the integration, and the future.
The outcome we were all hoping for. Another elephant joins the herd. Thank you so much to Herd for all your dedication, care and love. What a wonderful time for you all.
@HERD Elephant Orphanage South Africa So has Setombe taken over as the primary adoptive mom, or is she offering allomother support? I remember you saying that she had never allowed a calf that wasn't her own to suckle before Phabeni.
I makes me giggle watching him walk out with the herd. All the adults just mosey along, but Phabeni has to trot because he’s so tiny. He’s such a determined little guy 🤗❣️
Hello 🌹early in the morning, before a raining day, i watch the Jabulani's family. And i'm feeling good ! Thanks all humans and animals. Kisses to Khanysia and baby Phabeni. Have all a good day🌿
Oh, yes, those rumbles get to my core every time. Am sure they are saying things, but what…happy to see you, love you, thank you, give me some grass….??
Beautiful, we take our dogs for a morning walk, and here the HERD team takes these incredible Elephants for a morning walk, lots going on here thank you♥

I always click the like button as soon as I click on the video lol. Little Phabeni and Setombe! Wow! That was a surprise, and now this! So wonderful! I feel like cloudy days are easier on Khanyisa's sensitive eyes, so it makes me happy for her when the day is cloudy. Starting the day here in the US with smiles from beginning to end of the video. Love this! Thank you HERD!
What a WONDERFUL sight to wake up to! The work you have all put in to help Phabeni has been outstanding and he is repaying you with love. This is where he wants and needs to be! The Herd all love and accept him and likewise. Thank you and God Bless you ALL. Love You!
Very special walk with the adults and baby Phabeni. Blessing to everyone. We have been having 40+°C for many days. Today is much cooler, thankfully. Looking forward to the little boy enjoying his new family. Cheers Rosemary Western Australia 73yrs
Congratulations to Adine and everyone at HERD for their success with integrating Phabeni! As with others, I was so surprised to see him already in the bush - I think it must be one of the nicest things to happen on Earth today 💚💚💚I know how intelligent elephants are, but clearly they have very strong instincts when it comes to caring for babies - each one must be so valuable to the group's survival. I am certain this herd benefits from new babies like Phabeni in terms of their own social bonds and mental and emotional health too. It will be fascinating to see how things develop. Thank you again for bringing us right into the bush with you and narrating the story of the group - I love hearing the birds and insects and elephants rumbling and carers chatting. ❤🪲🦗🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🚶🚶♂🚶♂🚶♀
Oh wow, this made my night & warmed my mushy heart! So happy to see lil Phabeni w/the full ellie herd...his new family. Yay!! 🐘🐘🐘💞🐘Precious! Will be watching this video again it's so sweet. Thx to all who have helped make this sweet & very important victory for Phabeni possible🎉...amazing. God bless! 🥰
Adine, all the carers, what a wonderful day this is! Congratulations. What a privilege to share this special occasion. Thank you. So glad our little (not so little, anymore) pink princess is so gracious with baby boytjie. Methinks Meisiekind missed you a lot while you were so busy with Phabeni. Again, thank you, congratulations and abundant blessings. ❤️🙏🏻
So happy to see that Phabeni is already part of the whole herd. Congratulations to all the carers and Adine for letting us watch such as an important milestone for Phabeni. May God bless you all, for your wonderful love and dedication to these ellies!!🙏🏻🍀🐘🥰♥️🌟
This is so good to see. Little Phabeni has integrated very quickly with the Herd. Wonderful news. I adore these gentle creatures, it is a privilege to share their lives. They are so precious.
I'm so excited to see Phabeni with the whole herd in the bush! And I'm amazed that Khanyisa is accepting him so well. What a smooth integration! This is truly wonderful to see this recently traumatized baby bull transformed into a confident member of the herd! Outstanding,!🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘❤️❤️❤️❤️
To all involved at Herd Orphanage Adine every single caretaker to all the incredible people from around the world who donate, a huge THANK YOU for everything everyone does to save and care for these magnificent majestic compassionate elephants my heart is overjoyed watching the herd accepting and loving Phabini 🐘 ❣ thank you from someone like me who becomes so disheartened by world events and suffering of so many humans at the hands of others,to realize there is much more goodness of humanity than there is evil and experiencing Phabini's story from rescue to this video is a blessing
In such a short time, Phabeni has gone from a traumatized, starving infant who wouldn't even take milk; to a happy, engaged little fellow, ready to integrate into his new family. The level of care, commitment, and expertise shown by everyone at HERD is so inspiring. Deep Thanks!

I didn't expect to see Phabeni with the Herd,so was a lovely surprise.!! It's always special to see Khanyisa and progressing so well with all her brothers and sisters.!! A brilliant, happy start to the day.!! Thank you. 🎉😮🏴
The boy is having his first walk with the entire HERD! Wow. Wonderful!!!
Adine , no apology needed. What you and all the caregivers do is beyond measure. What a joy for all of us to see you and the Ellies live. ❤
With Phebini now integrated will she feed a little more and maybe put on a little more weight.
Yes so true 😊❤
Adine you and your caregivers are doing a great job one day doesn't matter we love all the work you and your caregivers are doing and we are glad to be part of the family keep safe and be blessed 🎉😂❤ ohhh phabei is out with you just so cute 🎉😂❤

It’s so exciting to see tiny Phabeni among our HERD! He is fearless!
Ķķ
It's so exciting. I'm so happy to see him thriving.
@@cynthiadeese3861- I’m happy for the herd too, they have another little one to care for.
Yay Phabeni!!! This makes me so happy
I had no idea Phabeni was walking with the whole HERD already!!
This is wonderful!❤❤❤❤❤
My goodness, Adine. Your life is so very full. Beautiful days with the ellie family. Not to mention all of the paperwork and managing The Herd. Wishing you a long and happy life. Please remember to take care of yourself too. You are the matriarch of the herd, really. Love you.
I’ll absolutely second that. It’s in my mind a lot. 🌈👏❤️🌹❤️🌹❤️❤️❤️
I feel exactly the same! 🧡🐘🧡🙏🙏
👍🏼🙏🏼❤️
Yes I so agree!
And yes Aidine is the matriarch of HERD!
Couldn't of said it better myself❤
Amen! Those ellies couldn’t ask for a better Matriarch. And the carers are an outstanding group of aunties and uncles, too. Love and gratitude to all. ❤
What a surprise! I did not expect to see little Phabeni with the herd and Setombe taking over as mom. Wow!!!!❤❤❤
My eyes felt like they were getting to be the size of my heart watching it all!
It's almost too glorious for words. And I could also feel this fantastic community of elephant/ HERD lovers... in awe and gratitude.
Good night, friends
🇸🇿🌍🌿🦋🐘🐘🐘🫒🐑🐕🙏🌙✨️
I was very shocked myself. I thought Lundi was going to his surrogate mother.
@@loraineriddell7157 With Phabeni, everything is a bit different. So it's only natural that he choose a different allo mother.
Is it already clear who his surrogate mum will be or can he have different ones as well?
Lundi had a boy and adopted a girl. Setombe had a girl and adopted a boy.
PERFETTO!
Phabeni is definitely keeping up with Setombe! His little legs were just moving to keep up with the herd. I hope Lundi will be okay with his choice. But I think they are all going to protect him Just the same. He is the baby of the Herd after all, and a lovable one at that!❤🐘🙏
Thanks for that. I know it's now after Phabeni is gone 💟 but I wondered if Setombe had a boy as she has a stronger touch with him when she swings her trunk.🐘

Giusto ! Purtroppo non si può dire di noi umani...... guerre ,distruzioni, morti in tutte le parti del mondo( Europa) .ITA giov. Ore 10,58
It is a very big surprise to see little Phabeni in the whole herd. I did nit hear about Limpopo. How difficult will it be to give Phabeni his milk all few hours day and night. 😮 Kkanyisa takes 4 bottles in once time and need it till she will be three years old. Phabeni is not even 1 year old. 😢
I got such a surprise when I saw Phabeni! ...and he's up there moving along at a pace. Very proud of big sister Khayanisa, she's not jealous at all. Thank you Adine and team, for all you do for these precious souls.
So precious phabeni is now part of the family herd 🐘 so happy ❤🤗🐘 so beautiful to see him out there with the big elephants, and Khayanisa is a very sweet sister didn't expect that though see would be jealous well done everyone for making this happen for baby phabeni 🐘🤗💞
Phanbeni is out with the whole herd. Yay phanbeni, good boy.
Hello Adine, and all the caregivers, greeting from France, near Pyrénées moutains! I’m following you and your so big family, each day for breakfast. It’s always a good time, to begin the day with all of you, little Phabeni, Khanyisa, Timisa, Pisa, Tokwe, Lundi, Bubi, Setombe and her loving daughter, and the entire herd too. I’m 72 old, and I love so much wild animals, so I’m enjoyed to follow your very big children and your comments. Have a good day, all of you! Catherine
I’m the same way!!

Khanisa gets to big sister now so proud of you Khanisa.

Absolutely amazing. Thank you to all the ellies for accepting this baby. Thank you to all the carers for your hard work.
I’m so happy to see Phabeni with the HERD, but especially with Setombe, it was obvious she fell totally and completely in love with that tiny boy! He seemed to be able to reach to suckle a little better!!

Phabeno is very special to so rapidly and easily integrate into the Herd .
That Setombe is going to be his Mom is another stunner. For Setombe just isn't a fuzzy warm kinda elephant, and has strong attachment to klasserie and Sebakwe only.

And where is Sweet and Beautiful Timisa and Cutie Pie Pisa? I am so happy to see this swift integration. But we're all awaiting the recap of how it went with each of them! Thanks!
Yes looking forward to the full goss 😂😍🐘❤
Yup! Waiting for the tea.😁Especially with Lundi since Adine did mention in one of the recent videos, that Lundi had on her own, made her way to the homestead garden to wait for Phabeni in the mornings after their initial introduction.
Yes. So what happens to Lundi now?
I'm sure the herd members are delighted to have Phabeni join them. Hopefully they won't think they need to kidnap a baby from the wild herd now. Khanyisa is so big! She has grown so fast and is still so engaging. Amazing job HERD team. Thank you for the wonderful work you do, taking care of these ellies.
Giusta osservazione! Basta rapire bambini care Lundi e Tokwe!!!!!🫣🤔🫨
Phabeni with the whole herd! Amazing!😊❤
I literally screamed with joy when I saw Khanyisa. I teared up a little knowing she isnt the baby but then I screamed with joy louder when I saw Phabeni with them. I take it Setombe wont let him leave her lol 😅.
He is such a trooper. In this short time he was a little traumatized baby that was so shy and now he is out walking with the herd. Im so proud of him and all of you. Adine your such an inspiration. Thank you again for this channel it really brings peace to my soul.
Good morning Jabulani Family 🐘. From Florida ❤️🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘❤️
Good morning Herd family . Take care and lots of love to all the Ellies. Especially for Khanyisa Meisiekind and Phabeni.❤🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘

Phabeni even came over to say "Good Morning" to his 1st adoptive momma, Adine,
@ 12:35-12:50 mark!
HOW PRECIOUS is this little man?!! So loving and -- now -- sooo happy too! JOY-JOY-JOY!
BLESS YOU ALL for LOVING + CARING for Phabeni and all the wounded, broken-hearted babies that come your way! 💞
Thank you for catching that time-stamp. VERY PRECIOUS! the best thing in the world to witness 😊
How amazing tiny Phabeni kept right up with the herd and looks so happy and natural. How beautiful to watch this!
My heart skipped a beat when I saw our little Phabeni walking with the Herd!!!! Such wonderful news! You Adine and the Carers are so incredible. Thank you for all you do for the beautiful elephants. YAY PHABENI!!!! And Khanyisa....such a good girl for being so nice to your new little brother!
That’s fantastic news!!!! I’m so happy the little guy is with the herd now! ❤️🙏🏽❤️🙏🏽
Setombe has decided Phabeni is her baby now, and I think he has made up his mind, too. So sweet to watch. And Khayanisa is so sweet, a wonderful sister for him! Such beautiful country and lovely company for a nice walk ;)
I send my love and my hugs to my beautiful african elephants friends as well of my sheep friends,sweet sheep lamie,and spotti ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐑🐑🌏
How exciting to see Phabeni fully integrated into the herd during the daytime, and out in the bush with them! Phabeni is just the cutest little guy ever! I’m thrilled by this news and happy you shared it tonight! Sending ☮️❤️🌍🐘 to all at HERD from 🇺🇸(West Coast)!🙋🏼♀️
So awesome to see Phabeni with the herd. I was so surprised and thrilled to see him. His integration is just moving right along. Appears he's been fully accepted at this point, yes?
Great to see little Phabeni out with the grownups and looking confident and relaxed. And Khanyisa being so good to her little brother. She's such a nice natured gentle girl. They're both doing so well after a very difficult start to life. Loving this channel.
Phabeni has a herd again ❤❤❤❤❤
Exactly, if this isn't good news then I don't know what is ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
M, your remark brought tears to my eyes, happy ones.♥♥♥♥
I wanted to see Tokwe meeting Phabeni. I'm so happy to see him walking with his herd. I'm also glad to know that Khanyisa is doing well with Phabeni. He's made such amazing progress in such a short period of time. Setombe and Lundi sure stepped up as great allomothers. My heart is full! Thanks to all. Love from Maryland USA.❤❤❤
How is Lundi reacting to Phabeni suckling from Setambay?
Phabeni is fitting in very nicely. Love to see him walking along with the herd. ❤
Just went to rewatch the Nov. 20 video of Phabeni's arrival at HERD.
My heart's completely full. Thank you for sharing one of the most compelling and wonderful things humans can be on this Earth... to benefit a helpless creature -
Hey, everyone: 😂
Group hug.❤🐘
Wow was wondering when Phabeni would go out for walks.... hope he isn't toooooo tired....♥️♥️♥️
What a nice surprise to see Phabene walking with his new family. Thank you Adine and caregivers for all the continuous work you do to help these precious elephants. May God keep blessing you all with great health, because these elephants need you. They know, that you love them.They can feel your love and dedication. I remember Khanysia's first walk with the herd. Look at her now, quite a grownup young lady.❤❤❤
Wonderful to see Phabeni with the whole herd! 👏
Phabeni looks so cute among the big ellies. He has no fear! He seems attached to Setombe now instead of Lundi. Did Setumbe steal him away?
It seems Phabeni will just suckle on whoever lets him BAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I just love him.
The world is his mini-bar! 😊🐘🍼❤
@@mortalclown3812 he's my spirit animal lol
He has introduced a whole new concept: that of allo father!
The Herd is awesome and so happy they welcomed their new brother. Khanysia is a big sister now. Beautiful ❤
This was unexpected, getting to see a livesteam from you at HERD. I was SO thrilled to see Phabeni following Setombe and knowing the close relationship he will have with Khanisa and Kumbura as well. These elephants are absolutely amazing and the human species would be better off if we acted more like elephants in the way we raise our children! So sweet to see how Phabeni has been accepted. I look forward to seeing him grow as Khanyisa has! Well done to you all! It is after 5pm here in country NSW Australia and its hot here too!
What a beautiful surprise! It seems that Phabeni picked Setombe...is it because she is lower to the ground to suckle? Its absolutely beautiful regardless of the reason!! Seeing Khanyisa with a laid back attitude puts us all at ease! Limpopo and Kumbura both inquisitive..Tokwe and Bubi seem un affected..and didnt see the rest of the herds reaction...but its obvious he's sure been accepted! I would have never dreamed of this outcome!! It's marvelous!! He will have lots of allo mothers and brothers and sisters...and his fearless determination will make him a much loved little bull of this Herd. I couldnt be happier! Really looking forward to this journey that makes the Herd 17 Strong!! Bless you Adine! ❤❤❤❤❤
He is an amazing Ele for sure!! So much fearless determination! A true survivor. He's going to grow up to be a superstar!
@@kowalski3769 You said it!! Totally agree! Im so proud of Khanyisa as well!
Thank you for sharing your magnificent life with us❤❤ It is beautiful how Khanyisa integrated in the Herd family. Your love and care nurtured her and continues to nurture her❤❤❤It is so exciting to see Phabeni walking with her new family❤❤❤
Oh, what exciting happy news! Your love and work make miracle! And how quick Setombe became Phabenis mother forever! The blessed elephant and human family❤🐘💛🧡
Has two mothers ever fought over a new orphan baby?
Oh my word. Now this was very exciting to see. Phabeni 🐘 integrated into the whole Jabulani HERD 🐘. It looks like from this point Setombe 🐘 is who Phabeni 🐘 has chosen to be his adopted mama. I am so proud of Setombe 🐘. It goes to show you, you can't judge a book by it's cover. I think she has amazed all of us. Love to everyone at HERD ❤️🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘❤️
Buon giovedì mattina 11,08 ,cara Dorothy anch'io sono rimasta sorpresa della scelta di Phabeni e ancor più della passeggiata con tutti gli elephants! Phabeni a suo agio con mamma Setombe e con tutti, Khanyisa non è gelosa mi piace questa cosa! Ciao ( hi)?
@@vivianaiacomelli3080Good morning . I am in total agreement with you. I think Setombe 🐘 will make a wonderful adopted mama for Phabeni 🐘.❤️
@@dorothywestcott2408 Buona domenica cara Dorothy 😊🫠😇🤗
@@vivianaiacomelli3080 I hope you had a wonderful day 🤗
Thank you so much Adine for sharing this with us. You all have a special place in my heart ♥️
💝🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🙏🏻❣️
So happy to see Phabeni accepted by Setombe and Klaserie so curious about him. Thanks for your care Adine- love to all the carers- your affection for all these animals is onfectious. Luv❤ from Jacksonville FL USA
Hey, Sunshine, good morning from Orange Park 👋 😊
The integration went smoothly, the herd know their job.
A well socialized family.
(except Mambo? lol)
Congratulations with Phabini's intro with the HERD ❤ I watched that video several times it was to me nerve racking yet Heart warming to see the massive creatures behave so diligent amongst the tiny Phabeni. Setombe just took to the little one so quickly and the patience she had to win His heart. As I've learned the quicker you get them with the HERD the better for Phabeni❤. They all look very happy and content especially your little Khanysia who has a very special place in your heart Adine. God bless the HERD ❤🙏🦣🐘🐑🙏
I love elephants the baby is soooo freaking cute
Óla 👋 What a wonderful moment 😍 Phabeni walking with all his family, it’s so heartwarming ♥️ Thank you so much Adine and all the team to share this video 🙏💝 I do not know the weather we will have here in south west of France today but I have my sunshine in my heart with this beautiful ride with all our protégés 🫶 What a wonderful work you have all done in such a short time… what a pleasure to see the accomplishment of all your efforts with Phabeni walking today among his family as he was born in this herd, what a magnificent work done 🙏👏 and also such a courageous little cutie 💕 As for me my day is already beautiful ☀️⭐️✨ Big hugs to everyone at Herd, to all our so beloved ellies, Adine, all the so devoted caretakers and the whole team, without forgetting Lammie, Spotty and Nandi 👋😘😘😘
Good morning All, yes it is early in the morning 1a, I like to watch Adine's & the Carer's "Children" the gentle giants, I was so excited to see baby Phabeni walking amongst the whole herd wow, and I read the comments they are so beautiful and kind, this is such a wonderful sight to see this morning 😊, Khanyisa the little big girl, is loving this little baby boy as well good girl, Good Job Adine and all the Carers
I'm literally in tears. Your work with these beautiful animals is showing the world how it can and should be done. And look at this amazing little guy! He knows he's back where he belongs, with these beautiful accepting elephants. So wonderful to see Khanysa as just one of the family, as if she was born to them. I have no words! Thank you!!! ❤💕
That was a long walk for tiny Phabeni. It is amazing how smoothly Phabeni integrated with the whole herd. Just beautiful. I love these elephants, every one of them.
I loved every single second of this. What a champ Mr Cuteness is. And I love the natural chemistry he had with Setombe the moment she saw him. Match made in heaven. I'm so looking forward to the last videos of the integration, and the future.
I love hearing the elephants rumble sound and listening to Aidine talking to the elephants. Thank you to all the care workers. What a family!
where is Lundi? I thought she'd be by Phabeni's side.
The outcome we were all hoping for. Another elephant joins the herd. Thank you so much to Herd for all your dedication, care and love. What a wonderful time for you all.
JOYFUL NEWS! So proud of all of you at HERD!.
@HERD Elephant Orphanage South Africa
So has Setombe taken over as the primary adoptive mom, or is she offering allomother support? I remember you saying that she had never allowed a calf that wasn't her own to suckle before Phabeni.
Abbiamo visto che ha cambiato idea 💡 chissà perché e quale meccanismo nella sua testa!!!!
Little Phabeni is now part of the herd!! How exciting! It made my night to see this all come together. Thank you, you are all amazing!
I didn't expect to see that!! How wonderful ❤️
I makes me giggle watching him walk out with the herd. All the adults just mosey along, but Phabeni has to trot because he’s so tiny. He’s such a determined little guy 🤗❣️
Do you think Phabeni keeps trying for milk. Nope, no milk here. Tries a different mom, nope, no milk here.
😅❤
It’s for comfort and bonding, the milk he gets in a bottle, but it’s very important like he has a teat so he has a mom.
I am so excited for Phabeni, it is the best news ever❤
Hello 🌹early in the morning, before a raining day, i watch the Jabulani's family. And i'm feeling good ! Thanks all humans and animals.
Kisses to Khanysia and baby Phabeni.
Have all a good day🌿
In a comment in yesterday's video, Adine, you mentioned the different kinds of rumbles. It would be great to learn more on that topic!
Oh, yes, those rumbles get to my core every time. Am sure they are saying things, but what…happy to see you, love you, thank you, give me some grass….??
Yes absolutely gorgeous and magical... Like a cat's purr souped up to mega levels - my two favourite animals 😍🐘🐱♥️
Beautiful, we take our dogs for a morning walk, and here the HERD team takes these incredible Elephants for a morning walk, lots going on here thank you♥

I always click the like button as soon as I click on the video lol. Little Phabeni and Setombe! Wow! That was a surprise, and now this! So wonderful!
I feel like cloudy days are easier on Khanyisa's sensitive eyes, so it makes me happy for her when the day is cloudy.
Starting the day here in the US with smiles from beginning to end of the video. Love this! Thank you HERD!
What a WONDERFUL sight to wake up to! The work you have all put in to help Phabeni has been outstanding and he is repaying you with love. This is where he wants and needs to be! The Herd all love and accept him and likewise. Thank you and God Bless you ALL. Love You!

@debidew7125 Thank You!! 😊🙏
Very special walk with the adults and baby Phabeni. Blessing to everyone. We have been having 40+°C for many days. Today is much cooler, thankfully. Looking forward to the little boy enjoying his new family. Cheers Rosemary Western Australia 73yrs
Congratulations to Adine and everyone at HERD for their success with integrating Phabeni! As with others, I was so surprised to see him already in the bush - I think it must be one of the nicest things to happen on Earth today 💚💚💚I know how intelligent elephants are, but clearly they have very strong instincts when it comes to caring for babies - each one must be so valuable to the group's survival. I am certain this herd benefits from new babies like Phabeni in terms of their own social bonds and mental and emotional health too. It will be fascinating to see how things develop. Thank you again for bringing us right into the bush with you and narrating the story of the group - I love hearing the birds and insects and elephants rumbling and carers chatting. ❤🪲🦗🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🚶🚶♂🚶♂🚶♀
Hello to all the elephants and carers.. Hey Khaniysa!!!!!! ❤ you all...
Oh wow, this made my night & warmed my mushy heart! So happy to see lil Phabeni w/the full ellie herd...his new family. Yay!! 🐘🐘🐘💞🐘Precious! Will be watching this video again it's so sweet. Thx to all who have helped make this sweet & very important victory for Phabeni possible🎉...amazing. God bless! 🥰
Phabeni seems so much happier since he began meeting the elephants. Such a big boy in the bush with the herd.
So happy to see Phabeni integration. What a joy.
Amazing = Phabeni has survived, and the herd has accepted him = Such a gr8 day = HUGE WELL DONE TO THE TEAM ❤
Hello ardine and everyone and darling elephants enjoy your videos lovebthem and all of you the elephants are so.lucky to havebyou all
Wow, congratulations on the integration!! Such good news!! ❤
Adine, all the carers, what a wonderful day this is! Congratulations. What a privilege to share this special occasion. Thank you. So glad our little (not so little, anymore) pink princess is so gracious with baby boytjie. Methinks Meisiekind missed you a lot while you were so busy with Phabeni. Again, thank you, congratulations and abundant blessings. ❤️🙏🏻
So happy to see that Phabeni is already part of the whole herd. Congratulations to all the carers and Adine for letting us watch such as an important milestone for Phabeni. May God bless you all, for your wonderful love and dedication to these ellies!!🙏🏻🍀🐘🥰♥️🌟
This is probably the best walk I have ever been on hands down.. ❤🐘❤
So awesome Thank you 🇨🇦😊
This is so good to see. Little Phabeni has integrated very quickly with the Herd. Wonderful news. I adore these gentle creatures, it is a privilege to share their lives. They are so precious.
I'm so excited to see Phabeni with the whole herd in the bush! And I'm amazed that Khanyisa is accepting him so well. What a smooth integration! This is truly wonderful to see this recently traumatized baby bull transformed into a confident member of the herd! Outstanding,!🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘❤️❤️❤️❤️
To all involved at Herd Orphanage Adine every single caretaker to all the incredible people from around the world who donate, a huge THANK YOU for everything everyone does to save and care for these magnificent majestic compassionate elephants my heart is overjoyed watching the herd accepting and loving Phabini 🐘 ❣ thank you from someone like me who becomes so disheartened by world events and suffering of so many humans at the hands of others,to realize there is much more goodness of humanity than there is evil and experiencing Phabini's story from rescue to this video is a blessing
