How many men does it take...

to lift a bull elephant's leg?  Answer - 6 large men trying as hard as they can.

Here are some pictures from the recent Elephant Relocation that occurred at the end of September.  Note - Other than the press present on Day 1 of the relocation, Travel Wild clients were the only visitors allowed to be part of the action.

His legs were too long so KWS officials had to lift his legs around the truck's doors

Having arrived, the elephant family rushes out of the truck to inspect their new home in the Masai Mara

The elephants are now living in the Masai Mara and are said to be acclimating well to the new environment
