Adine recently bumped into our private reserve's wild herd of elephants and was excited to see the reserve's adult female albino elephant again!

Our orphanage is located by Jabulani, in the Kapama Private Game Reserve (Greater Kruger National park). The reserve is home to a rare albino female elephant. She was first seen shortly after being born in 2010. Like Khanyisa, she was a bright pinkskinned baby elephant and this caught the world's attention.

Albino African elephants are rare and keeping track of the wild cow helps us to anticipate what to expect as Khanyisa ages. In a happy coincidence, the wild albino cow gave birth at around the same time Khanyisa was born and while her calf shows no signs of albinism, it is a joy to watch her raise her calf while the Jabulani herd raises Khanyisa.

Now around 11 years old, the Kapama albino elephant remains in excellent condition and is thriving with her closeknit herd. Like Khanyisa, her eyes are sensitive to the sunlight, but she has adapted extremely well.

Seeing how well the wild albino elephant is doing gives us such hope for young Khanyisa's future and we look forward to continuing to share her journey!
