Our release herd was collared last week! We are incredibly proud of the intrepid team who pulled this important task off so seamlessly – and even more proud of the elephants, who were unflappable through it all! The collars, which were supplied by Save The Elephants, are fitted with GPS devices to help closely monitor each elephant once they’re back in the wild.

Much like kids in high school, the behaviour of elephants change as time goes by and they approach ‘graduation’. This blog post takes a look at some of the many factors that are taken into account for the timing of each elephant's release.

Meet the 13 elephants who are part of Reteti Elephant Sanctuary’s 4th release group - who’ll soon be graduating from the sanctuary and return to the wild.

This year, we are celebrating our 7th anniversary with a very special announcement. Thirteen of Reteti’s biggest elephants have been selected to be released back into the wild in the coming months!
