It has been about six weeks since our precious herd of elephants arrived at Plett Game Reserve from the Knysna Elephant Park and we are pleased to report that the family is settling in well in their new 2000 hectare home. We thought we would take the opportunity to introduce you to the individuals that make up this very special herd.
