It’s always a privilege to accompany the herd this way in their daily wanderings. Their behavior and interactions are endlessly fascinating. Thank you, Owen, for sharing these immersive videos with us, and thanks to the entire crew for taking such briliant care of these magnificent animals. Wishing everyone at HERD a healthy and peaceful new year.
They are still beautiful, magnificent creatures of God. Love my guy Fish...still hanging on well. Thank you, Owen. Happy New Year to you and the other carers. Be safe.
A beautiful day in the bush with the lush greenery. Family members looked happy and content. Humans could learn a lot about land management/preservation from elephants. Loved seeing majestic Fishan enjoying the water and eating. He may not always be with the group, but he has them within earshot. Made my day seeing Fishan...
Fishan's majestic presence and his ability to stay connected with the herd, even when he's not physically with them, is heartwarming. It's wonderful to hear that seeing Fishan made your day!
I love watching the elephants be elephants. They are so relaxed (at this moment!). Thank you for this beautiful video of all my favorite elephants, including those not shown. May 2025 bring much happiness and success to all at HERD. ❤
Thank you for your beautiful video of the herd. Very relaxing to see all the elephants peacefully gracing. Wonderful job. God bless you for your care of these giants. Pray for the rain in your neighborhood soon. Love you all.
Good morning. So wonderful to see the Herd doing what they do without stress and fear. They all look so content and that makes me happy, it us a good feeling to see them so peaceful and beautiful. Thank you.
Thank you Owen. As usual your videos never disappoint me. It's so nice to see the bush greening up and our Jabulani HERD 🐘 out feeding on the green grasses and leaves. I really enjoyed watching the Herd 🐘 in the water 💦. Just splashing and dunking themselves to keep cool. I love waking up to my favorite elephant 🐘 family. Again thank you Owen for 20 mins of this magnificent HERD ❤️🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘❤️
You are all so beautiful you make me cry!! A happy New Year and Blessed 2025 to the Carers, their families, all the support teams and to Adine and her family!!! sendingall of you love and thanks for sharing these beautiful elephants with us!!!
The water must feel heavenly to the elephants....For a few minutes, they are light as air. How wonderful it is they have these water holes to enjoy. Everyone gets a good bath! Mr. Fishan looking particularly regal these days...towering over all. Thank you Owen for sharing this happy, playful scene with us. It's nice to see everything green again.
Thank you for sharing your appreciation for these wonderful moments. Owen's dedication to capturing these scenes allows us all to experience the joy and tranquillity of the elephants' world. 🌿🐘💧
Thank you Owen for this wonderful informative video. Very helpful when you identify the members of the Herd. I've learned how to identify some from looking at Meet the Herd which has their picture, year they were born, male or female, and son or daughter of. Bubi is always entertaining. She teaches Khanyisa how to have fun in the waterhole. Kumbura keeping watch over sweet pink princess Khanyisa and her big sister Timisa. Lovely to see the three younger sisters Pisa, Timisa and Khanyisa together. So thankful for the recent rains that brought new green growth to the bush. Thank you Owen and all the dedicated Carers at Herd Elephant Orphanage who devote their lives to loving and caring for these magnificent gentle giants. ❦Take care❦ 🐘💜
It's wonderful to hear how much you appreciate Owen's informative videos and the efforts of the dedicated carers at HERD Elephant Orphanage. Identifying the members of the herd and learning about their unique characteristics adds a special touch to the experience.

Happy New Year to everyone at HERD. Thank you Owen for leading us through a calm and relaxing walk in the bush. I have watched almost every video posted and can identify most of the elephants on sight but I learn something every time. May the rains continue to come!
Happy New Year to you too! It's wonderful to hear how much you enjoy Owen's videos and the peaceful walks in the bush. Being able to identify most of the elephants on sight is impressive, and it's great that you continue to learn something new with each video.
Thank you for this lovely clip. The land is recovering nicely and looks beautiful. May you be blessed with all the downpours needed for a return to healthy land coverage and naturally full dams for the herd to play in!❤🐘❤🐘❤🐘❤
Great start to the 🎉New year, ellies swimming 🏊♀️ and grazing 😊❤, interesting how herds and families are, the kids playing together the adults off to the side, the older bulls by themselves 😊🐘🐘
Your long-standing admiration for these elephants speaks volumes about the special connection you have with them. It's heartwarming to know that their beauty and presence continue to inspire and bring joy to your life. 🐘💚
Little Timisa is so pretty, she has beautiful elephant features. I have to wonder if the other elephants see her beauty also. Then there's littlest Khanysa, the baby of the herd. I'm so in love with her! She's growing up way to fast...
The bond between these elephants and their unique personalities make them even more special. It's wonderful to see how much you care for them and appreciate their beauty. 🐘💚
Gonna try to fiercely encode portions of this relaxing life affirming scene in my brain/memory so every time something horrific happens in US and world can remember. Will be the only way to keep some balance and sanity for a few years. Thank you Owen and HERD for all your hard important work. Thank you all in this community that care and support. ✨🐘🍃
The serene and heartwarming scenes with the HERD elephants can indeed serve as a powerful reminder of the beauty and tranquillity in the world. It's wonderful to see how much appreciation you have for Owen.
This is the best way to relax and be stress free! Such magnificent and beautiful animals! They are wise beyond their years. Wouldn’t you love to know what they are thinking? Blessings to everyone at HERD! ✝️🙏😊
Love to watch the herd in the water what a beautiful girl khanyisa is she is growing so fast and her tusks are getting bigger love to see the land recovering from the drought it's great to see the green leaves and grass coming out the herd are looking fantastic adine and the carers are doing such a fantastic job you have got a beautiful fantastic herd of elephants 🐘🐘🐘👍🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for sharing your appreciation and kind words. It's wonderful to see the positive impact of their efforts on the herd and the environment. Sending love and blessings from the entire HERD team! 🐘💚🌿
It’s so amazing when wildlife has a easier stress free beautiful life how much more you can see of their personalities water food security brings rest and peace for them to actually be themselves and with all my human heart I wish that for all species not matter big or small land or water I know nothing has peace without their needs being met and this herd shows its personalities in peace thank you for caring and sharing these videos I hope you’ll get more arrivals this new year
I just can't get over how beautiful this herd is so much love and care well taking care of fresh food every day checked on when they are sick and the older elephants make sure that the little ones are protected and just love how much the caregivers give all their heart to them even being away from their own families and Adine what can i say about her she just blows my mind for all the love and care she has for them i thank God just for being a big part of the family thank you Owen for sharing love all of you until the next time 🎉😂😂😂❤❤sending love and hugs to all of you be blessed 🎉😂😂😂😂❤❤❤🐘🐘🐘🐘🎉
Thank you for sharing your appreciation and spreading positivity. Your kind words and blessings are cherished by the entire HERD team. Sending love and hugs back to you! Be blessed and have a wonderful day! 🐘💚🌿
Thank you Lord for the beautiful green bush that is growing rapidly. May Our Lord bless each and everyone of you, the carers. May you ALL have a joyful and fulfilling New Year. God bless
Owen, Thank you for all the information on the herd. I am trying to learn how to say the elephants name correctly. I watch each video twice to make sure I understood everything that was important. I just love the elephants and want to know everything about them.😄😄😄😄
Today it is Kumbura who is on duty to watch over Khanyisa and Timisa having fun at the waterhole while Bubi lounges with delight completely submerged and Dame Setombe and daughter Klaserie watching the outer edges of the Dam Later Pisa, Timisa and Khanyisa in single file on the bank look so cute it's exactly like the Herd T-shirts design They're so much fun Thanks Owen for introducing us to our favorite Ellies in their peregrinations in search of fresh food after the rains It's also good of you to let us know of the constant need to anticipate the needs of these gentle giants, e.g. for water in future droughts, so that we can understand the difficulties you are facing. It's a real pleasure and a chance to be able to follow you on the Elephant trail Thank You Owen and Herd
It's wonderful to hear how much you enjoy following the elephants on their journeys. Owen's dedication to sharing these moments and educating us about the needs and challenges faced by these gentle giants is truly commendable.
Their is our sweet Bubi and Pink princess Khanysia, as Dad Fishan and rest of Jabulani Herd, must be hot there, here in SE Minnesota big 15 degrees temperature! Sending love to all❤
another great video of the lovely elephants. we can all learn from them in the way they are a family and protect each other in the good and bad times. wished i had that type of family. would make life's ups and downs easier to bear .thanks for allowing us to see them at peace. ❤😊
Thank you! I am grateful that you walked around and gave the names as I am trying to know them by sight and it is very difficult but having the names under them helps a lot as I can take screenshots of them and study the differences in their tusks and other features. And I always LOVE the bathing parts of the videos! Thanks! ❤🐘❤️
It's fantastic to hear that the names and features of the elephants are helping you get to know them better! Taking screenshots and studying their unique characteristics is a great way to learn. Not sure if you have seen our website where we have the herds' profiles listed, link is shared here for ease of reference: - herd.org.za/meet-the-herd/
I have spent the most delightful hour watching this and then reading all of the posted comments; even answering a few! Thank you Owen, as always for the best time whisking us away to the Neverland of the HERD 🙏 I noticed that Khanyisa ‘coughed’ (11:40) which, I believe is the first time I’ve seen an elephant cough 🤔 Lastly, so excited, I catch my plane to Hoedspruit 8 weeks today! 🥳🥰🐘🥰
The only silent time in our house is when we watch HERD. My husband and me, we're silent off course. Our 3 boys, 5 years old twins and a 2 year old boy, are watching eyes wide open, even our dogs don't bark.😀 Thank you Owen.
Awesome way to learn about elephants. Hearing the insights of the caring team helps to really learn to care about them . They are wonderful and amazing. Thanks and good on ya!! Happy New Year's!
I am amazed at Owen's ability to recognize each one. In my ignorance, I thought that in a pack there were only females and very young males, not yet independent, but here I see very calm and docile males, integrating into the pack, without problems.
Our herd is unique, in that it is blended and includes older cows, older bulls, and youngsters (juveniles, subadults, and adults). The older bulls are orphans and appear content in their unique rescued herd, taking on social structures and hierarchies typical of wild herds. Thus, there is a matriarch and a dominant cow but also a dominant bull.
I know HERD's works are never light and easy, but having this beautiful relationship with these magnificent ellies, I believe that each and every person involved in this organization is truly blessed. The calm and peaceful atmosphere in this video is truly soothing and comforting. I really appreciate Owen's narration, introduction, and description of each Jabulani herd member. Thank you, Owen. I just love every clip, but my favorites are those of Timi's(she really is a budding ellie model), and the one were she and Pisa and Khanyisa are together. You can truly see the strong and beautiful bond of these youngsters with each other. Khanyisa really loves being close with her older sister. She follows Timi around and vice versa. I am glad to see the lush in the bush because of the rain. Thank you again and God Bless You All.🙏🐘❤
It's wonderful to hear how much you appreciate the work undertaken by HERD and our amazing team on the ground. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and spreading positivity! 🌿🐘💚
That is so sweet, but, in all honesty, Phabeni was happy because he was with ALL of the elephants; every elephant needs a herd. He was so cute wandering from ellie to ellie, touching trunks, swinging his little tail, bless him. Loved it when he was under Setombe’s tummy 🥰 It’s so precious of you to remember him as being a happy little ellie. Don’t ever think of him in any other way. That’s how he would want to be remembered. Bless you and be kind to yourself; you are a dear heart to have loved him so 🙏🥰🐘🥰
I do love watching my Ellie friends playing in the bath they have such fun and auntie Kimbura is on baby security as usual ever ready to spring into action to protect the little angels and keep them safe gotta love her ❤❤❤😘😘😘🐘🐘🐘
👏🐾🍼💚🐘Happy New Year and all the best - now and always!!! I love everytime any of you is close by the Ellies and say their names they either flap their ears or wag their tails! It is truly "halarious" And everytime I see Somopane I remember Kenneth's words saying he is the friendliest and coolest Ellie in the Herd. Please send our love to Dr. Rogers and Team🐘💚🍼🐾👏
Happy New Year to you too! It's wonderful to hear how much joy the elephants bring to you. Sending love and hugs your way! Be blessed and have a fantastic New Year! 🐘💚🎉
a Beautiful video.. full of colors and spacious views.. loved!!❤️the line up of the three little sisters..in the green grass.. we are in for a good year..🐘❤️
I totally love these elephants. People can learn so much from them on how to really show love, and respect for others. I love how Towke takes it upon herself to make sure everyone is safe and happy, and how they watch out for the younger elephants, and always accept new babies into the herd. I hope before long you can bring another baby for them to help heal and be a family for the baby. The whole herd really benefits from having new members to take care of.
So nice to start the year with this lovely video ❤
Thank you Owen, love seeing everyone. Happy New Year!!!

@@lesleyhook3472 agree about Neverland Lesley. Safe travels!!! 🥾🥾👋🏻✨🐘💕
Have a wonderful trip. What a great opportunity for you.
@@katieciccoianni4415 Thank you so much, Katie; I’m so very fortunate to be able to go 🙏🥰🐘🥰
checked out the “cough”.. that was weird..
@@mickeyTX. Indeed; I hope she’s okay, bless her. Such a wonderful ‘ambassador’ for HERD 🥰🐘🥰
I feel cool just watching them swimming. And isn't it just lovely seeing some green?
Oh, big beautiful Fishan ❤.
Yes, it really is.
So relaxing and peaceful 💗💗
The only silent time in our house is when we watch HERD. My husband and me, we're silent off course. Our 3 boys, 5 years old twins and a 2 year old boy, are watching eyes wide open, even our dogs don't bark.😀 Thank you Owen.
I have my first two grandbabies on the way and I’m really looking forward to introducing them to the Herd!
@@FredPorlock-1892 Please do. They'll love it.
😊❤ That's a busy house. Just found out my niece is having twins and we couldn't be more excited.
Blessings to you all.

@@mortalclown3812 Wish your niece, you and your family all the best. :)
How lovely to read these posts. You are all dearly blessed. Happy New Year to you all. 🥳🥰🐘🥰
Thank you Owen for such great footage and giving us info on each of the fabulous elephants! Happy New Year!
Vedo con piacere che la pioggia ha riempito un po' il laghette e lerba è tornata grazie Dio per questo
Thanks for the update on the drought situation and your plans😊
HAPPY NEW YEAR
Happy New Year to you too!🥳🎉🥂🍾🎆🍀
Thank you all from Liverpool ❤❤
Pisa Timi and Khanyisa really love being close to each other, beautiful footage so calming ❤❤💔
Happy New Year from a cold and snowy Sweden 🌨🌨⛷❤❤
Awesome way to learn about elephants. Hearing the insights of the caring team helps to really learn to care about them . They are wonderful and amazing. Thanks and good on ya!! Happy New Year's!
It's fantastic to hear how much you appreciate learning about elephants through the insights of the dedicated team at HERD.
Thanks. And thanks for the opportunity to learn and grow!
I am amazed at Owen's ability to recognize each one. In my ignorance, I thought that in a pack there were only females and very young males, not yet independent, but here I see very calm and docile males, integrating into the pack, without problems.
Our herd is unique, in that it is blended and includes older cows, older bulls, and youngsters (juveniles, subadults, and adults). The older bulls are orphans and appear content in their unique rescued herd, taking on social structures and hierarchies typical of wild herds. Thus, there is a matriarch and a dominant cow but also a dominant bull.
@herdelephantorphanage thanks for your reply.
They are having a great time in the water. They are enjoying themselves and playing. They look happy.
I know HERD's works are never light and easy, but having this beautiful relationship with these magnificent ellies, I believe that each and every person involved in this organization is truly blessed. The calm and peaceful atmosphere in this video is truly soothing and comforting. I really appreciate Owen's narration, introduction, and description of each Jabulani herd member. Thank you, Owen. I just love every clip, but my favorites are those of Timi's(she really is a budding ellie model), and the one were she and Pisa and Khanyisa are together. You can truly see the strong and beautiful bond of these youngsters with each other. Khanyisa really loves being close with her older sister. She follows Timi around and vice versa. I am glad to see the lush in the bush because of the rain. Thank you again and God Bless You All.🙏🐘❤
It's wonderful to hear how much you appreciate the work undertaken by HERD and our amazing team on the ground. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and spreading positivity! 🌿🐘💚
Beautiful video! Thank you for sharing this!🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Happy new year for every one
Happy New Year to you too!🥳🎉🥂🍾🎆🍀
Happy New Year to you too 🥳🥰🐘🥰
Because of Bubi our phabeni was happy
That is so sweet, but, in all honesty, Phabeni was happy because he was with ALL of the elephants; every elephant needs a herd. He was so cute wandering from ellie to ellie, touching trunks, swinging his little tail, bless him. Loved it when he was under Setombe’s tummy 🥰 It’s so precious of you to remember him as being a happy little ellie. Don’t ever think of him in any other way. That’s how he would want to be remembered. Bless you and be kind to yourself; you are a dear heart to have loved him so 🙏🥰🐘🥰
I do love watching my Ellie friends playing in the bath they have such fun and auntie Kimbura is on baby security as usual ever ready to spring into action to protect the little angels and keep them safe gotta love her ❤❤❤😘😘😘🐘🐘🐘
👏🐾🍼💚🐘Happy New Year and all the best - now and always!!! I love everytime any of you is close by the Ellies and say their names they either flap their ears or wag their tails! It is truly "halarious" And everytime I see Somopane I remember Kenneth's words saying he is the friendliest and coolest Ellie in the Herd. Please send our love to Dr. Rogers and Team🐘💚🍼🐾👏
Happy New Year to you too! It's wonderful to hear how much joy the elephants bring to you.
Sending love and hugs your way! Be blessed and have a fantastic New Year! 🐘💚🎉
a Beautiful video.. full of colors and spacious views.. loved!!❤️the line up of the three little sisters..in the green grass.. we are in for a good year..🐘❤️
We are so glad you enjoyed the video, it's lovely to see how much you appreciate those moments of serenity in nature.
I totally love these elephants. People can learn so much from them on how to really show love, and respect for others. I love how Towke takes it upon herself to make sure everyone is safe and happy, and how they watch out for the younger elephants, and always accept new babies into the herd. I hope before long you can bring another baby for them to help heal and be a family for the baby. The whole herd really benefits from having new members to take care of.
