Conservation journey · elephants and great mammals
Elephants, buffalo and the other great mammals of the south, from orphan to herd. Meet the keepers raising orphaned elephants, spend time with long-term elephant researchers in Amboseli, and join a mobile vet unit on a rescue or a wildlife census team when one is running.
The signature moment: Watching a vet free an elephant from a snare, and the herd waiting for it at the treeline.
