Abu Camp, Okavango Delta, Botswana One of the Abu Camp elephant herd, Lorato, gave birth to a little boy on January 20th. Both mother and baby are doing well, and the new calf has been welcomed into the Herd with "open trunks." Guests have the opportunity to meet Motlotlo (meaning "pride") in camp during two strictly controlled interaction periods.
