Lundi Versus Some Very Stubborn Rhinos | Flashback to Elephant Escapades at the Waterhole
This Flashback Friday, join Jabulani Guide Nathan and HERD Elephant Carer Forbes on a virtual safari! In this video, taken during the dry winter last year, we take a look at what happened after Lundi and Mambo chased a group of rhinos away from the waterhole. You can watch the chase here: • Elephants Mambo and Lu... .
Shortly after the chase, Mambo lost interest and moved on to other activities. But Lundi was determined to get the rhinos to move further away. She followed them, and when they stopped a short distance from the waterhole, she stood and watched them. Eventually, Jabulani walked over to Lundi to back her up. Together, the two tried to intimidate the rhinos in an effort to get them to leave. The one rhino, however, called their bluff and stood her ground. Her plan worked - Jabulani soon moved on, and eventually, Lundi started backing away as well.
As the drama unfolds in the back, you can see the other elephants continuing with their own activities. Little Khanyisa and Timisa walk over to sand themselves, followed closely by allomothers Kumbura and Klaserie. Setombe, Mambo, Somopane, Pisa, and Zindoga all walk by on their way to find sand to throw over their wet bodies. And look out for the group of giraffes walking in the background!

Lundi doesn't like the intruders and will always stand for her ground even when it is not always successful In her defense she didn't have all the help hoped for wonderful Matriarch Tokwe, Sebakwe the dominant Bull and Gentleman Fishan were too busy splashing about in the Dam and Jabu decided to have his peace Thanks for sharing ❤🐘

Grazie cara Marie-Claude che hai spiegato dettagliatamente, Lundi non accetta intrusi , non li ama ed è pronta a cacciarli. Buona serata ITA ore 19,12

What a great showing of the HERD. This guide was great. I loved the giraffes in the background. So funny to think if you are lost just follow Jabulani, he’ll get you home.
Wonderful to see this from another angle. I think I would be 'starstruck' when I'd meet the herd in real life. I feel like I know them so well from all the HERD footage!

How wonderful to have been able to see this with Carer Forbes and Ranger Nathan. Great flashback video! 🧡🐘🧡🦏🙏
Lundi doing her job I guess...hoping the rhino could return for water! Such drama ❤
Nathan was a wonderful guide during our visit!! Wealth of info.
Oooo the poor Rhinos! I do understand it, but it still makes me feel bad. I wish all the animals could be friends. I love them all so much!

🩵🐘🦏🌿 I know what you mean and wish the same. It does seem, more often than not, that it's pretty peaceful at the gathering places. Beautiful to watch. 🇸🇿🌍🌿💦🐘🐘🫒🦏
That was a great history lesson of the heard for those who do not know the players.
Lundi 🐘 never backs down 😂. She has met her match as the Rino's 🦏 stand their ground. So we have a stand off 😂. Thank you carer Forbes and Ranger Nathan for this flash back on a game drive. ❤️🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🦏🦏❤️

Yes ~ The reserve itself is so big. Was looking at the area on a map. The carers who go out into the bush cover so much ground each day, too. 🌿
I can't wait until baby boy Phabeni is big enough to swim with his family! ❤
Love all this great information. I will never have enough of information about elephants. Such,awesome, wonderful creatures.Thank you.🥰
🫶🐘🐘💦A lovely video, which conjures up a sense of their regal appearance and calm, powerfully captured, natures 🐘🍏🐘💚🐘🐘🐘💞
Beautiful herd.
Great video. How awesome for the people to see the herd, rhinos and giraffes. ❤️🐘❤️🦏❤️🦒 Thank you.
How do I get on this particular safari? Been following the Herd since 2020, know all the Elle’s 🐘💙
Thank you for sharing 🇨🇦
Lundi non sopporta condividere i dams con bufali ,rjinos , girafle ,leoni e più ne venga di animali..... lei non vuole intrusi e si arrabbia molto! Mi piace la mia dolce Kumbura perché appena vede la piccina Khanyisa e Timisa correre verso il pericolo non aspetta un secondo e subito corre in protezione delle piccole per difenderle insieme a Klaserie Jabulani ecct. VI ADORO TUTTI MA KUMBURA È SPECIALE!!! 😊😉🥰😍😘😇😇🤗💞💕💘💖🩷💜🧡👋👋👋👌👌👍👍👍
Very nice, knowledgeable guide, which I would love to have. I'm hoping to come for a visit in the next 2 yrs. ✌✌😮😮
Kumburu my main girl! 😍
I’m curious, does anyone know what the difference is between the role of the matriarch and the role the dominant female? At first I thought they were the same, but after watching the video it sounds like they’re different.

The way I understand it, is that Tokwe the matriarch is the leader and then there is an hierarchy between the other adult females. So, Setombe is the most dominant of the other females. But, even though she is the most dominant of the others, she will still follow Tokwe as being the matriarch. Tokwe isn't the oldest female, which is actually a bit special. Setombe is the oldest and therefore destined to be the matriarch, but she was too nervous to be a good leader, so Tokwe stepped in. On the HERD webpage are bios of many members and all this is explained there. You may want to read it.
I feel like I seen this on the HERD site but from the opposite side. Lundi don't play.
🆗️🇧🇷🙏❤️🐘🙏🐘❤️
How old is Jabulani?

Happy 20 years Birthday Jabulani! Here's to many many more to come🎉🦣
Fantastic guide really knows the ellies & kept a cool low tone voice in a situation that could have gone sideways fast.. Nice to see Mr. Giraffe in the background too ❣️🐘🩵🦏💜🦒🩵🥰🐾
