There is no rest for the weary when there are hungry mouths to feed. And the carers at Reteti Elephant Sanctuary (2) would most certainly agree that the growing little elephants can be quite a handful when they are all lined up waiting for their lunch!
But it is a happy chaos as each orphan is hand-fed (or the elephant has learned to hold the bottle on its own!) a bottle of nutritious goat’s milk (4).

The baby elephants drink over 10,000 bottles of milk a month (1) and that is where you can help.
If you would like to “spoil the Reteti Elephants” please send Reteti Elephant Sanctuary a donation today!
Gift one bottle of milk (4) or more.
Long’uro and all the little Reteti elephants thank you!
