Kihari arrived in 2011, a poaching orphan so weak she could barely stand. Her first days were touch-and-go. Now? She's a wild mother with a daughter of her own – and little Kiki has inherited her mum's spirited personality. Both roam across the Tsavo landscape, mother and daughter side... show more

A little over two months old, and baby Kiki is already honing essential life skills! Dunking, splashing and getting most of the water in her mouth: trunks take time to master but Kihari's wild-born calf Kiki is doing everything right. Sandwiched between her mum, one-tusked Kihari, and her nanny, she's got the very best support system around her to learn from – something her own mother, Kihari, never had (she was rescued as an orphan and raised by our Keepers). It was an unusual upbringing – but it worked! Kihari is now living successfully back in the wild, where she is raising her own calf! Reacquaint yourself with Kiki:

On the fifth day of Christmas… five new lives thriving! We’ve welcomed a quintet of tiny trunks into the world since the start of December – and little Kiki is one of them. Her mother, Kihari, was rescued as an orphan of poaching in 2011. Now she’s raising the next wild generation. Each wild-born baby is a victory for conservation – celebrate new life with us:

Zongoloni's journey has been remarkable. An orphan of poaching, rescuers could barely hold back tears when they reached her and her dying mother. It's been a long path to recovery, and along the way, she's found friendship, safety and sanctuary in our care. She was one of the first to go wild from Umani, leading a group of orphans affectionately called the 'night clubbers'. But the icing on the cake came last year, when she became a mother for the first time – to a little boy called Zigi. As mothers go, Zongoloni is a wonderful mum, and works hard to balance her parental responsibilities with her own needs. Case in point: when Zigi wanted to nurse this month, she wouldn't stop – too busy keeping up with her friends. Zigi screamed in protest, but she walked on. Parenting is complicated. Even for elephants! Catch up with our incredible ex-orphan mothers, wild-born babies and dependent orphans in our Keepers' Diaries:

💕 Beautiful mother and daughter moment! This is a 2011 gala performance by Svetlana Putintseva together with her daughter, who also trains in the same sport as her mom. Just another mother and daughter performances they did together. Pure joy on the mat! ✨

There's a dynasty unfolding in Kenya – and like any family, it's full of love and drama. Right now, the season is all about the new babies that have joined. The matriarch of the family? Edie, an orphan we rescued in 1999 after she fell into a well as a calf. As if it couldn't have got worse, she was abandoned by her family at first light when herdsmen arrived. But she's a symbol of strength and resilience. With the help of our Keepers, we raised her until she was ready to find her own place in the wild. Today, she is 27 years old, a wild matriarch in Tsavo, and a mother of five – her newborn Enid joining Eden, Ella, Eco and Enzo. Follow us for more from our elephant family.

Three generations of elephants — alive today because of one life saved. The female at the rear is Mulika, the mother and grandmother of those walking before her. We rescued her in 2000, after poachers left her an orphan. In 2011, Mulika gave birth to her first calf, Mwende — the second-largest here — followed by Mkuu (born 2020) and baby Moe (born 2024). In 2023, Mwende made Mulika a grandmother — when she had a daughter of her own, little Mala! We feel privileged to witness this ever-growing elephant dynasty flourishing in the wilds of northern Tsavo East. Meet Mulika and her family:

Shahjahanpur, UP A girl was dressed as a bride and doing Nikah. A Hindu organisation reached there and found out she's a 16-year-old Hindu girl. Police arrived and it was stopped. The girl's mother was supporting the Nikah. She was having an affair with the Muslim boy's uncle. How shameless can a mother be to marry her own 16 year old daughter to a Muslim? Her mother and all those involved should be arrested and punished.

We spent a day with the multi-talented Diiadem, an entrepreneur, beauty boss, and mother who balances building her brand with motherhood, all while making it look effortless. And one thing about her, she always shows up for her daughter, Koko. ❤️

In July 2012, a two-year-old calf was found alone and emaciated on Mgeno Ranch, bordering Tsavo National Park. She had almost certainly lost her mother to poaching. Named after the area where she was found, Panda bypassed our Nairobi Nursery entirely and we raised her at Voi instead, surrounded by the older orphans who understood what she had been through. Now, this once-vulnerable youngster is a mother! In early December 2025, Panda came home for the holidays – and she brought someone with her: her daughter, Panya! Her name means "mouse" in Swahili and it suits her. We now get the privilege of watching Panya grow up when Panda visits, just like this! Remind yourself of the moment we first met Panya:

A mother shares how her daughter was laced with K2 after hanging with the wrong people. It sent her in and out of the mental hospital 12 times. But now… Her daughter is walking across the stage at high school graduation…still battling fear and anxiety from the drug’s lingering side effects.

In 2020, just one day after the passing of her mother Thérèse Tanguay-Dion, Celine stepped onstage and honored her memory with a tender rendition of “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” in Miami, Florida. It was a moment marked by grace and quiet strength offering comfort, connection, and a reminder of the enduring bond between a mother and daughter. 🎥: Yves Aucoin

Mud isn't optional for an elephant. It cools the skin in the heat, blocks the sun and keeps the biting insects off. A wild calf would learn it from the older females in her herd, but Kaikai is an orphan, so she's learning it from her Keepers and the other orphans in our care. She's determined that she's not the only one to get muddy either – a flick of the ear gets the Keeper filming this sprayed with mud! Kaikai just turned one and has years of bottles, Keepers and bush school ahead before she's ready for a wild herd of her own. Adopting Kaikai helps fund that journey:

⚠️⚠️Trigger Warning⚠️⚠️ His daughter didn’t want to go with her mother. She told her dad she like make him a bracelet and to never take it off. She then proceeds to tell her father that she will ALWAYS be on his side. A lot of people(women) thought it was corny for him to record the interaction. I applaud him! This can be used as evidence. Especially when the mother says her daughter hates to be with her dad. Video evidence and text receipts will always be accepted as proof. A lot of men go through this everyday. They left the mom, not the child. Remember who hurts in the end when you keep them from their dad.

Today is Rei's birthday! Above all, she's a bright, earnest cleanup hitter who loves baseball more than anything. She pores over statistics and record almanacs until she knows the theory better than anyone, and yet the moment she steps up to bat her average just won't climb, something she quietly frets over. Even so, she breaks down every cause one by one and keeps practicing until she gets it right, the kind of person who works hardest where no one can see. She keeps the very first home-run ball she ever caught like a lucky charm, always reminding herself of her resolve to one day hit a homer like that with her own bat. She throws her whole heart into everything she does, so before you know it, watching from her side, you find yourself cheering right along with her. She's forever politely smiling and looking after Sensei, yet deep down she holds onto a wish to make her very first home run a gift for Sensei before anyone else. So today, let Sensei be the one to seek Rei out first, and spend a day where, win or lose, she can simply enjoy the thing she loves to her heart's content. #BlueArchive
