An intriguing story told in Kenya about Elephants that returned to a land where their predecessors once walked after an absence of over 20 years. A celebration about restoring a habitat to save the last open spaces for Elephants to roam about freely and tracing back the routes to their ancestral land.
Today there are over 300 Elephants in the Conservancy; and the population is growing. We also discover the initiatives taken by the community and Gamewatchers to educate the youth in the area and how this model has created a win-win situation for both the community and Gamewatchers Safaris.
Directed and filmed by Feisal Malik
