Lundi’s Story

Precious Lundi, with her kind motherly touch, calm nature, was born in approximately 1989. She is one of the original elephants that were rescued from Zimbabwe. During the turmoil of the situation there, she bonded with Tokwe, and the two have remained inseparable ever since.

In 2020, Lundi took on the adoptive mother role to Khanyisa, a rescued albino calf, and is extremely protective, patient and kind with her.

Lundi is very loving and always keeps an eye on all of the youngsters when out foraging. Her approach is calm, but strict if any of them cross the line. If there is mud to wallow in, Lundi is the first one in, and she loves to eat!

The perforations in her right ear make Lundi one of the easiest elephants in the herd to identify, though no one knows how she got them, they were there prior to her rescue as a young calf in Zimbabwe. She is of medium height, quite widely framed and has fairly short tusks, with her right one being slightly lower than her left one.

Mambo, her only son, was a handful growing up, but Lundi is very attached to him, even though he is a thriving young bull now. But Lundi continues to show plenty of love for him and for little Khanyisa.

Your fostering helps us to provide for your foster elephant’s needs! This includes our essential and sizable team of dedicated elephant carers who care for, support and protect the herd day and night. During the day, the carers walk with the herd through the bush for 12 hours, enabling them to roam, forage, swim, sand bathe and play in the wilderness, while at night the homestead provides safe shelter with the carers’ accommodation alongside the elephants. Our team see to the cleaning of the homestead, land management, dam maintenance, and so much extra work behind the scenes.

Funding goes toward providing the elephants with safe shelter, medical support and dietary supplementation. You can foster an elephant for yourself or as a gift for a loved one, giving them the joy of supporting an elephant and the world of elephant conservation.
