Camp Jabulani or Jabulani Safari is 20 years old but I think Jabulani himself is going to be 26? I first met him in 2015 when he was 18, just a teenager. 😅

@@Kim-lc3fv yes I am aware that Camp Jabulani is 20 yrs old. You are correct Jabulani 🐘 is in his 20s. He is a cheeky boy. It's a magical place. I will never forget my time there in 2021. It was totally my #1 bucket list. I only found them when they rescued Khaynisa 🐘. Have been hooked ever since.

You are a gift from God, Stravos. A true friend and treasure to our elephant family. 🇺🇸💕🌺🌴💗

Thank you Stavros for staying on and caring for Phabeni 💜 Another wonderful example of those dedicated to the care and wellbeing of this very unique Jabulani Herd! 🥰💜🐘💜🐘💜

Sr. Stavros, FELICITACIONES por todo el Amor y la dedicación que a través de tantos años Ud. le brindó a los queridos elefantes. Bendiciones para Usted y su Familia y que tenga una hermosa vida. Un abrazo desde Argentina. ❤🇦🇷🐘🐘🐘🐑🐑

Thank you for your service and dedication to the preservation of these elephants...from across the world, you are appreciated by people you have never met. Blessings to you.

Thank you Stavros for all you do! You have had a very blessed life to "live" among those gentle giants and to be so acquainted with them and the Bush! I am praying to Almighty God to take care of little Phabeni and to guide you all in everything you do to help him.

Stavros, thank you for talking to us. It's a privilege to hear your words of wisdom about the elephants. Respect to you. Hello from Oudtshoorn, Western Cape.

Thank you, Stavros, for sharing your heart with the beautiful elephants. At this difficult time for Phabeni, please know that we are sending love and strength to you, and holding you in the Light, so that you may continue to do everything needed to care for Phabeni.

Dear Stavros ~ He's in all of our hearts and the hearts of the herd, too. 💙🐘🐑 His decades of wisdom about elephants ~ especially the Jabulani ones - cannot fit in books. 🇸🇿🌍🌿🦋🐘🍼🐘🐑🦒🦁🦅✨️ Phabeni being ill must weigh deeply on him. Please extend our love and thanks from around the world.

Stavros....you are AMAZING and a TREASURE!!! Thank you......

Thank you Starvos. Happy birthday beautiful Jabulani .❤💕

What a wonderful man. I remember when you came back for Khanyisa and the love and care you gave her. Now Phabeni receives your love and it will help him recover. Thank you for coming back Stavros.

Thank you, Stavros, for your dedication at jubalani. You're a beautiful kind sweet caring soul. your bond with the Elephants is special 💖 🐘🫶

What an amazing soul. So glad you are still helping with the herd; they needed you!

Thank you for all your dedication with all the elephants

What a Lovely, Caring Gentleman Stavros is. I am not surprised Phabeni loves him - many of us followers do too! He clearly loves his job and he is a vital member of the Care Team. It's great to hear the Carers talk about their background and their work with the Elephants. Imagine watching Jabulani grow into the magnificent bull he is today! Marvellous! Thank You Stavros and I, for one, am very, very grateful you are still working at Camp Jabulani. Long may that continue! 🐘💖🙏

Gracias Stavros y felicitaciones por tu excelente trabajo!!! ❤

The dedication, loyalty, and clearly the great love and passion he has for his work is truly commendable and heartwarming. Thank you so much, Stavros, for staying with HERD all these years. May you have many years more to work with joy with our beloved elephants. God Bless you and your family. And I hope you could convince and communicate to Phabeni how much he is loved and needed even by strangers like me from across the world in order for him to stay strong and drink his milk. Cheesy as it may sound, but your love for each other resonates to me that I can't help but love everyone at HERD, not just the elephants, but also the people.❤🐘❤

Such a long time that you shared with the elefants is really great. ❤ It is not easy. Now with baby elefants is a new hard work especially in the night. Like your baby at home by your wife Phabeni needs all few hours milk. I would him give formula of baby milk (like your little child) mixed with coconut milk. This is used in big orphanages for baby elefants. I would give Phabeni very big bottles or hang the big bottles on the fence so he can nuggle himself. I hope you can also sleep a little bit in the night or more later in the morning. I wish you health and happiness ❤

Thank you Stavros, for your beautiful smile and your love and dedication towards little Phabeni, the Jabulani herd, and Adine. I enjoyed hearing about your children. It is easy to see how much love you have to give! Phabeni loves you as does the whole herd and we admire and love you too. You are a blessing! ❤️

I adore Stavros and have so much respect for him. The community that supports HERD didn't want him to retire either. We were sad. The Human Herd needs his elephant knowledge and his gentle ways. He is a beautiful soul ❤ Thank You Stavros for coming back 🙏🏻 You are loved!

Starvos you are a gift to HERD and well respected and loved around the world. It was a pleasure watching the video. Blessings to you and your large family of humans and ellies.

You are a blessing to the little Ellies and to Herd Stavros. Thanks for the caring and love you give to these beautiful animals. ❤

GREAT JOB STAVROS💖AND THANK YOU, FOR THE LOVE OF THE ANIMALS.

Stavros you are truly an angel. Thank you for everything you do. The herd is very lucky to have you!!!! We love you!

Love Stavros. My favorite carer. Such a gentle soul.

You can tell his love for the elephants because he’s retired but still willing to return when needed. Loves his family, elephants and working with the other carers and Adine

I've been watching for almost 5 years now. Stavros and the crew are much loved and appreciated not just by me but definitely all the ellies. Prayers for y'all and Phabeni. Hope he recovers quickly so his mother(s) can comfort him. Jabulani needs to teach him the ropes of being a strong leader. Like Stavros. ❤

Stavros, you are a wonderful carer , may God Bless you and your family 🐘🙋💕

Stratos, you are an expectorant man. I respect you a lot, a humongous amount. You are dedicated to caring for the Herd. Now Phabeni. Could not have a better man to look after him. Especially now as Phabeni is awfully unwell. Please let us know soonest how Phabeni is doing. Many, many followers of the Herd are anxious for an update. Please, please, please.

An amazing gentleman who has given so much of himself to help these gentle giants. 🙏🏼🥳❤️

You are amazing Stavros! 💜 Thank you for taking such great care of the orphans and the HERD!!! I see the compassion you have for the Herd and the orphans! 🙏💖👏

Dear Stavros ❤ now you are working about 28 years with the elefants. I am happy that you like this work so much. If you stay with Phabeni over night, so you have 9 Horst left till 16:00 o clock. I can imagine that you can not rest much anough in this time. That seems really hard. You are very admirable. Thank you so much ❤

Stavros is an angel on earth. He may be retired but his soul won't let him stop helping. For him doing all that he does is a calling. Bless Stavros, his family and all the carers. He has a beautiful heart and strong spirit. We need more people like him in this world.

i love your videos and the people i have met here especially stavros he is a god loving man stavros u are a beacon of gods light i hope to meet you someday myfriend god blesss you with his light and love i love all my beautiful ellies i wanted to know how my phabeni is doing i pray for him every day blessings and gods light to all the carers at hoedspruit
