In the heart of the Okavango Delta, Botswana lies a camp called Abu (meaning everything about elephants) it was here that three young male elephants spent their youth. They were orphans of culls in Kruger National Park, South Africa and were fortunate enough to have been brought to Botswana by Randall Moore to become part of his herd. Having spent their youth frolicking in the waters of the delta, munching on the luscious vegetation on offer and playing with others in the herd, they grew into adolescence and it was time for them to leave their herd and live the life of a bull elephant. Permission was sought and granted from the Department of Wildlife and National Parks for Mafunyane to be released in 2002 and due to the success of this on 10th of February 2003 Small Thando and Seba were also released. In addition an opportunity arose to release a young female, Nandipa, who was released in September 2003.
