DVD Description

A compelling series featuring the emotional, dramatic and heart-warming personal stories of wild elephants in Northern Kenya

Like us, they care for friends and family, feel emotion and may even grieve for their dead.

This amazing series – filmed in northern Kenya’s stunning Samburu National Reserve – follows the remarkable lives of wild elephants and the research team trying to help them. From the first faltering steps of new born Breeze to the experiences of an elderly matriarch, it reveals the elephant’s hidden world – the depth of their emotions, their remarkable intelligence, and the intimate complexities of their family life. Cameras follow the work of the world renowned elephant expert Iain Douglas Hamilton and his Save the Elephants team, accompanying them on their exciting missions across northern Kenya, and telling the stories of individual elephants from helpless infants to rampaging bulls and doting mothers.

Among the many incredible sequences we witness some astonishing elephant behaviour; a mother forced to choose between her herd and her injured calf to save his life, and a herd of elephants appearing to mourn the death of a matriarch.

Lovely Lovely Lovely what a joy to watch an animal DVD where there isn't anything being killed. Be it nature or not. The joy of watching Breeze and her family brings such uplifting moments. The technical stuff, of how they track and trace the elephants is remarkable the devotion that is shown by all involved is heartwarming. On a bad day this is a DVD that will be going on to watch Breeze and all the other elephants again and to see all the wonderful scenery.

Great 3-part series 5 April 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase
I really enjoyed this 3 part series, it follows an elephant research centre in Africa and follows the movements of individual elephants. It shows what some of what is being done for elephant conservation and the threats to wild elephants. This has great footage of wild elephants and is a pleasure to watch.

I would definately recommend this dvd to anyone interested in elephants & its a dvd that can be watched time and again. Brilliant!
