“I had heard reports of a three-legged elephant over the last couple of years but never thought I would ever connect with her.

“The aim of this mornings drive was to make it to the wild dog den and spend time with their new pups but like everything in the bush, nature has its own plan and so just as we were about to reach the den – we drove slap bang into this large herd of elephants.

“To my amazement, I noticed an elephant with a very unorthodox walk in between the mass of grey bodies and on closer approach, realised it was Vutomi, the three-legged elephant!

“Her story has an element of mystery however we believe that her ‘amputation’ was the result of either a landmine from the Mozambique civil war or a gin trap set by poachers.

“It is very easy to allow your spirit to be overwhelmed by sorrow but it’s important to also see her as a testament to nature’s resilience! Give nature the opportunity to and she will bounce back!”
