As a helicopter hovers close to an elephant, trying to be as steady as possible, an experienced veterinarian cautiously takes aim.

A tranquilizer dart whooshes in the air, and within minutes the giant mammal surrenders to a deep slumber as teams of wildlife experts rush to measure its vitals and ensure it’s doing OK.

Kenya is suffering from a problem, albeit a good one: The elephant population in the 42-square-kilometer (16-square-mile) Mwea National Reserve, east of the capital Nairobi, has flourished from its capacity of 50 to a whopping 156, overwhelming the ecosystem and requiring the relocation of about 100 of the largest land animals. It hosted 49 elephants in 1979.

According to the Kenya Wildlife Service Director General Erustus Kanga, the overpopulation in Mwea highlighted the success of conservation effort s over the last three decades.

“This shows that poaching has been low and the elephants have been able to thrive,” Kanga said.

Experts started relocating 50 elephants last week to the expansive 780-square-kilometer (301-square-mile) Aberdare National Park in central Kenya. As of Monday, 44 elephants had been moved from Mwea to Aberdare, with six others scheduled for Tuesday.

A second phase to relocate 50 other elephants is planned, but the date has not been disclosed.

The project has cost at least 12 million Kenyan shillings ($93,000), the wildlife agency said.

■contribution: From an article by Kaushik Patoway for Amusing Planet-

Large herbivores such as elephants often seek out natural mineral deposits such as rocks and soil to supplement their dietary intake of sodium whenever the mineral is not obtained in adequate quantities from woody plants and natural water which elephants consume. So it is not uncommon to find elephants devouring soil and licking rocks high in sodium content. In Mount Elgon National Park on the Kenya-Uganda border, elephants have taken this activity a step further—they have learned to quarry sodium-rich rocks on the base of a 24-million-years-old extinct volcano called Mount Elgon.

Mount Elgon is believed to be the oldest extinct volcano in East Africa. Because of its unusually large form—an 80 kilometer wide base and a peak that rises 3,000 meters from the surrounding plains— Mount Elgon doesn’t have the typical sharp rise of a volcanic mountain. The rise is more gradual, and as the land rises the vegetation changes and so does the climate. The forest becomes thicker and air becomes chilled. Many rare plants and animals seek shelter in the higher slopes of Mount Elgon to escape the heat of the plains.

The elephants prefer to stay in the lower slopes where there are a number of caves and salt is plenty. These caves are quite voluminous, with up to 150 meters long, 60 meters wide, and some 10 meters high. There is evidence that these caves have been artificially expanded by thousands of years of mining—not by humans, but by the pachyderms.

The elephants use their tusks to break off pieces of the cave wall, which they then chew and swallow, leaving long scratch marks all over the cave walls. The elephants chisel the rocks for several hours and eat large quantities of salt at a time, since they usually do not return until several weeks later. The elephants have a voracious appetite for salt. One young bull elephant at the Aberdare National Park in Kenya was observed to consume 14 to 20 kg of salty soil in 45 minutes. From another observation of a young calf feeding himself rocks inside Kitum Cave in Mount Elgon, researchers estimate that on average an elephant excavate about two liters volume of rocks from the cave.

Aside from elephants, other animals such as bushbuck and buffaloes are also drawn to the salt in the caves. It’s unlikely the animals know they need salt in their diet. The behavior is mostly instinctive, developed over thousands of years, and by leading their young into the caves, the knowledge has been passed on through the generations.

Some predators such as leopards and hyenas take advantage of this behavior by hiding in the darken interior of the caves and attack weaker animals such as elephant calves, buffaloes and bushbucks. The worst happened during the 1980s when poachers discovered this trick. They hid near the entrance to the caves and ambushed the elephants as they approached. From more than 1,200, the population of Mount Elgon's elephants fell to under one hundred. Poaching radically altered the behavior of the elephants—they became more secretive and started avoiding the better-known caves.

The fall in ivory prices in the 1990s and a more determined anti-poaching effort by the Kenyan government gave the elephants some respite. The situation has improved since the last two decades, but the future is anything but bright.

■thought: From the time I was a child and heard the phrase "an elephant never forgets" to seeing the videos in my early adulthood of the parade of mourning elephants gently stroking the bones of their long lost loved one, elephants have been an animal that I have a strong connection to and feel very strongly about. Knowing whole structures have been carved out of ancient rock by this specific parade brings me much joy. What other animal structures exist out there? What else are elephants capable of knowing and doing? What does this mean regarding the conservation efforts for these wizened, leathery giants? So much appreciation to the conservationalists studying these amazing members of our Earth family.

Whether you're a first-time traveler or a seasoned explorer, the combination of these destinations will leave you in awe.

Diani Beach Safari Kenya

Diani Beach is more than just a sun-kissed stretch of white sand along the Indian Ocean; it’s a gateway to a unique safari experience.

Known for its annual migration of over two million wildebeest, zebras, and gazelles, the Masai Mara is a wildlife enthusiast's paradise. A Masai Mara National Park Tour Package typically includes guided game drives, where you can witness the "Big Five" (lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, and rhino) in their natural habitat. The park’s open savannahs provide stunning vistas, making it an ideal destination for photography. The experience is further enriched by cultural visits to the Maasai villages, where you can learn about the traditional lifestyle of one of Africa’s most iconic tribes.

Tanzania Safari Destinations

Tanzania, Kenya’s neighbor to the south, offers an equally captivating safari experience. The country's diverse landscapes, from the plains of the Serengeti to the volcanic peaks of Mount Kilimanjaro, are home to a rich array of wildlife. Tanzania Safari Destinations like the Ngorongoro Crater and Tarangire National Park are must-visit locations for anyone seeking an authentic African safari. The Serengeti, in particular, is renowned for its vast herds of wildebeest and zebras, and is the setting for one of the most spectacular wildlife events on earth—the Great Migration. Tanzania’s parks are less crowded than those in Kenya, providing a more intimate experience with nature.

Kenya Safari Package

For those looking to experience the best of Kenya, a well-curated Kenya Safari Package is the perfect choice. These packages often include visits to multiple national parks and reserves, such as Amboseli National Park, known for its stunning views of Mount Kilimanjaro, and the Tsavo National Parks, which are famous for their large elephant herds. The beauty of a Kenya safari package is that it can be tailored to your preferences, whether you're interested in seeing the diverse birdlife of Lake Nakuru or the dense forests of Aberdare National Park. A Kenya safari not only offers an unparalleled wildlife experience but also provides insights into the country's rich cultural heritage.

Conclusion

A safari in Kenya and Tanzania is a journey into the heart of Africa, where you can witness some of the most incredible wildlife and landscapes on the planet. Whether you're drawn to the pristine beaches of Diani, the iconic savannahs of the Masai Mara, or the diverse ecosystems of Tanzania, each destination offers its own unique charm.
