Catch up with little Phabeni on a morning at the orphanage as he meets Khanyisa and some of the other elephant cows across the fence — including Timisa, Pisa, Limpopo and Kumbura.
There is a long road of healing ahead for Phabeni as he grieves the loss of one family and builds bonds with his new one. Fortunately the herd awaiting him are welcoming and accepting and ready to take him in as one of their own. Phabeni just needs the confidence and trust to take this next step.
Little by little, Phabeni. 🩷🐘💚

i see that little back side kick Limpopo? i think or Pisa gave to Khanyisa. ive see that in other videos in a mother daughter, younger son, then newest baby where the eldest sibling protect the smallest from getting trampled with to much attention from another young sibling. i wonder if that was what that side judo kick was for, or No this ones mine dangit!😂
that last look is heartbreaking. Phabeni my sweet boy i promise you will be happy again. you will have all the love you can handle and more❤😢
Phabeni went all shy
Everything takes its time for little Phabeni. The Herd is very lovely for Phabeni 💕. One step at the time, you are good, Phabeni 🤗🐘❤. Thank you, Adeni, and all lovely carers ❣🌺🌺.
Sometimes the healing is more a mental battle than a physical one. Phabeni is struggling to accept his losses and move forward.
I rewatched Khanyisa week 1 from 3 yrs ago. Definitely night and day. Phabeni in my opinion has a story we will never know & I believe we have no idea how this will play out realistically. We all support this beautiful little boy and that is all The carers or experts can do. As long as he's eating and not losing weight its a + . ❤
Stavros is so sweet with them. So much love to you all. ❤❤❤
That video is a great moment of joy, i want the ellies girls and Phabeni will be together!💖💖💖💖💖💖
They way Adine vocalized she has so much respect for Stavros got me. How heartwarming.
Perhaps haven is overwhelmed? Hell get over it.
Awesome video of some awesome elephants. Wishing the best for the little guy.
By the way, what happened to spottie? Would Phabeni play with Spottie?
Drink up those bottles and get stronger little Phabeni. You have a whole family that wants to be with you.
BLESSED WEDNESDAY ADINE, STAVROS, AND ALL HERD CARERS! LOVE TO SEE THE HERD COME UP TO THE FENCE TO CHECK OUT PHABENI! SENDING LOVE AND PRAYERS!🐘🦏🐑🦓🦒🐾
Is the fence electric?
We can see the delicate fabric of orphan ellies. I think Phabeni would literally have a fit if confronted with the Herd at this stage. Kudos to the respect you are showing him in giving him space and time to adapt, and He accept the Herd too.
Phabeni is not to sure yet about the elephants.
Maybe baby Phabeni thinks he's a little human boy, not a baby elephant, and is hiding in the tall grass because he's scared of elephants! He's spent the majority of his life with humans and thinks he's one too..with his pet named Lammie.
They are hungry!
He’s pretty tiny compared to those others. Easy to forget when he’s alone what a baby he is.
I think he's listening to every sound and try to figure out the interaction and he has feelings which he can't explain. But he's very sensitive to yr voice
Khanyisa’s like “oh no! You’ve got to be kidding me. A baby brother? I wanted a baby sister!” 😂😂😂
Ah, probably, he's like, where is my family and is missing them so much? He's grieving. So said 😢
I pray he will find his way and open up so he gets a bond with the herd precious Boy 🐘❤
I like the video ..but not the commentary ladies voice..it's irritating…
Darling phabeni he will come to terms and hopefully with the herd in the future but his so.luckybto havebyou guys
I thought she was saying mexican
Poor little Phabeni he's so afraid of the other elephants, I have to wonder if maybe he got rejected out of his herd.
Phabeni is such a precious gift – so grateful to everyone at HERD for being there for him.
Limpopo showing the baby that she can relax
It seems they all want to help the baby
What happened to family?
When the one elephant got down to the ground, I thought she did it gracefully. Very impressed with her movement. I do not know anything about elephants, only that I wish them peace and love. They are magnificent. Thank you…
That was so touching to see all the girls eagerly lined up side by side to get a glimpse of their newest & soon-to-be house mate 🤞 Perhaps Phabeni was a little overwhelmed by all the attention but in time he'll be one of the herd 🙏❤️🐘
Phabeni looks nervous but is taking baby steps ( as he is indeed a baby ) with the care and love of his carers. Love for baby Phabeni and gratitude to his devoted carers.
Are you gonna let Khanyisa come visit Phabeni in his stall like you did for Fenya? He might like that, because it would be one on one, and he’d be behind a stall door to feel safe?
Phabeni's like, I know they're a nice herd, but I still want my mum. Happy New Year to you all, and may 2024 be everything you hope it will be. ❤🇬🇧
❤😊
Wouldn't it be wonderful if the woman who called for help to be able to come and see this baby she saved😂
Is that fenced electrified?
