Meet Korbessa – Kaluku's undisputed 'boss lady' who runs the show and wouldn't have it any other way! She likes to start and end her day in the lead. The Keepers let her out of her stockade first each morning, then she wheels around the compound for the 'bonus bottle' she knows is ready and waiting.

Since her debut on 1 July 2025, Kalama and her firstborn baby, Kapuki, have been near-daily visitors to our Ithumba Unit, with the first-time mum surrounded by supportive ex-orphans. This is the beauty of our conservation projects, offering holistic and a 365-degree approach to elephant protection.

If we listen closely enough we find that many non-human animals are speaking and not just “making noise”. We’re just not very good at learning their language, but there have been primates that learned ASL. And humans are the “smart ones”?

These two former Nairobi orphans made the big leap to Tsavo this year. Shujaa, our former dominant bull, is discovering there are bigger boys here to keep him humble. Meanwhile, Mageno is adjusting to the vast landscape after Nairobi's sheltered environment.
