To the delight of the crew at Knysna Elephant Park, a new family member entered the world on January 1, 2007. Shungu is the Shona word for patience and her arrival was heralded with much trumpeting from the other ellies. We had to help the little one latch for the first time, but thereafter it was plain sailing.
This is the second birth experienced at Knysna Elephant Park, a sure sign that our ellies are comfortable within this environment.
Our elephants are all orphans from culling operations and are internationally famous. We have guided tours of the most southerly elephants in the world between 8-30 am and 4-30 pm 365 days of the year.
You can feed and even hug them if you wish! A tea garden, an elephant curio shop and accommodation at the Elephant Lodge are on site. |
