Edited to add:
Lionhearted Luggard and brave Enkesha, two elephants orphaned due to bullet and snare wounds respectively, took a significant step towards a life back in the wild on 31st May 2020, when the Sheldrick Trust moved them to its Umani Springs Reintegration Unit in the Kibwezi Forest. Join them on this journey and be a part of the wonderful welcome they received from the Umani orphan herd.
