A herd of elephants walking in a grassy, mountainous savannah landscape

Return to the herd: The story of Reteti's young giants

Filmed on location in Northern Kenya, this documentary follows the extraordinary journey of orphaned elephants at Reteti. From their rescue to rehabilitation, and ultimately, rewilding. 

Not only will you be able to see the different Reteti makes to the lives of orphaned elephants every day, you’ll also be able to witness the bond between the Samburu keepers and the calves in their care, the real impact of community-led conservation, and the emotional moment when elephants return to the wild. 

And of course, not forgetting Long’uro’s incredible journey as a 'miracle survivor!'

Rescued in 2020 after falling into a well and losing most of his trunk in a hyena attack, Long’uro’s survival seemed impossible. But thanks to the dedicated keepers at Reteti and specialised veterinary care, he not only survived, but learned to adapt in remarkable ways.
