Reteti Elephant Sanctuary

My Reteti Elephant Sanctuary Visit First of all I love this picture above. I know you don't see the elephant. But you can see the size of the milk bottle and the young elephant with its mouth wide open. When you experience this live, you can't help but fall in love.

Reteti was founded due to local needs. The local people were finding orphaned or abandoned elephants. Orphaned, if the parents have been killed. Or, abandoned due to human intervention. In these remote areas, farmers make water holes or wells, which are a hazard to animals when they fall in and cannot climb back out. This is when elephants have to move on and leave baby calves behind.
