Our Amazing Morning with Two Orphan African Elephants

Some sad updates
A year after our visit, Doug Groves was tragically killed while out walking with Jabu and Morula, trampled to death by a wild elephant. The world lost an incredible man. RIP Doug. His wife Sandi continues their incredible work.

Then, in July 2021, Jabu also died after being released into the wild. The cause of his death was not clear but it is suspected that he was killed in a fight with another bull elephant. RIP beautiful boy.

While visiting the Okavango Delta region in Botswana, we had the chance to participate in the experience of a lifetime, when we spent the morning with Jabu and Morula, two orphaned African elephants who are cared for by the Living with Elephants Foundation run by Doug and Sandi Groves.

We learned a great deal about these two beautiful creatures and about elephants in general. It was an experience we will never forget.
