It’s well known that elephants work together to solve problems – after all, it’s all about team work. At our Voi Reintegration Unit, seven-year-old Godoma understands this perfectly.
She plays a supportive role to best friend and main matriarch Mbegu and together, they lead the 27-strong herd of orphaned elephants growing up here.
A quiet and nurturing character, Godoma likes to make sure every member feels secure, doling out love and affection to the younger orphans like Pika Pika here.
While she isn’t quite ready to make the leap to a wild life yet, it’s all perfect practice for Godoma for when the time comes to play second-in-command in the wild!
