Sebakwe’s Story

The dominant bull in the Jabulani herd, Sebakwe, is a true gentle giant in every sense.

Named after a river in Zimbabwe, Sebakwe was born around 1985 and was part of the original herd that was rescued in 2002.

He is by far the biggest, tallest and widest (both from the front and from the rear) elephant in the herd. His tusks are beautifully developed but in 2018, he broke his left tusk making it considerably shorter than his right tusk.

While being a grand and striking bull, he is also tender and loving, and very protective of the herd. He has a strong presence and a well-tempered personality – qualities that led to him being featured in various Amarula campaigns over recent years.

His favourite time of the day is when the elephants take time out from foraging to swim in one of the dams and he especially loves splashing about with a tree branch in his mouth or trunk, showcasing his impressive strength to his fellow herd.

Sebakwe loves to spend as much time as possible with Setombe, the oldest of the females.

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.
