Just a pic of a happy baby to make you smile! #trunkupwines @sheldricktrust ・・・ Over the weekend, Mbegu celebrated her sixth birthday! When we rescued her in 2014, she was so tiny that we named her after the Swahili word for “seed.” Well, our little seed has certainly blossomed! During her early days at the Nursery, Mbegu was surrounded by love and support. Now, she’s a matriarch-in-the-making and a source of love and support for all those around her. Her team at Voi consists of Godoma, Ndotto, Murit, and Ngilai — and while Mbegu is their peer, they all look up to her and trust her implicitly. Please join us in celebrating this remarkable little leader. Mbegu‘s rescue was one of the most dramatic we’ve ever undertaken.

Amazing to see... #trunkupwines @dswt ・・・ Mbegu, Ndotto, and Lasayen only graduated to our Voi Reintegration Unit this morning, but already they’re right at home! Ever-precocious Ndotto didn’t miss a beat, leading the entire herd down to the mud bath and splashing away with delight. The trio even got their first sighting of wild elephants — a peek at the wild lives they themselves will lead when they are ready to fully transition from our care. We’re all feeling full of pride about how far these babies have come over past few years, full of hope for their futures, and full of gratitude to everyone who helps make moments like these possible by supporting our work. (And if you missed the news, check out our previous post to learn more about this very exciting DSWT graduation!) #DSWTgraduations • • • Video © David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust #DSWT #Mbegu #MbeguDSWT #Ndotto #NdottoDSWT #Lasayen #LasayenDSWT #elephants #voi #voireintegrationunit

This is Mbegu, the first elephant we fostered in Kenya. She is rising to matriarch status with her caring ways and leadership. Mbegu can usually be found shepherding around her little charges, but when the hose is out, all bets are off! On particularly hot days, our Keepers spray the babies to cool them down — and Mbegu, who has been in our care for nearly four years, knows the drill well. She’s also discovered that the hose doubles as a personal water fountain and likes to plant herself right in front of its stream! It’s no wonder that this clever and compassionate girl is the DSWT Nursery’s mini matriarch. 📹 via @dswt • To learn more about Mbegu, visit: www.thedswt.org/mbegu • Video © David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust #DSWT #Mbegu #MbeguDSWT #elephants #whyilovekenya #kenya #nairobi #dswtnursery #africa #magicalkenya #savetheelephants #nairobinationalpark #saynotopoaching #racingextinction #jointheherd #bekindtoelephants #worthmorealive
