Nights at the HERD homestead have a different kind of beauty. With the elephants peacefully eating under the lights and the distant laughter of the carers, it is one of many reasons why we love the bushveld ✨

Baby Phabeni has a small nap before Adine arrives, but is eager to enjoy playtime with Adine and Liverson once awake. Lammie and Spotty stay close by as Adine softly sings a lullaby to encourage Phabeni to sleep. While Liverson prepares his early evening bottle, Adine shares some thoughts about Phabeni and the connection they share compared to that with Khanyisa. After an interesting milk bottle feeding, Adine spends more time with Phabeni before he heads back to bed, but all in his own time. Phabeni is such a special elephant, and we love to see his bubbly personality shine through!
