Mambo’s Story

Mambo is an energetic and mischievous yet loving young elephant bull. Mambo, meaning ‘King’ or ‘Chief’ in the Shona language, was in August 2009, the fourth baby born to the herd, to mother, Lundi.

He is growing into a sturdy bull, with a rounded forehead and tusks that point outwards. He has a tear in his right ear, which resembles the torn ear that his mother, Lundi is well recognised for.

Although Mambo has always been playful, he is becoming more disciplined over the years, starting to make his own decisions and be more steadfast and independent in his actions. He often challenges the older bulls, specifically Jabulani and Sebakwe, who quickly remind him of his place in the herd. Mambo loves to spend time with Zindoga, who is Bubi’s son.

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.
