This World Elephant Day, we’re celebrating Mozambique’s gentle giants and the people working to protect them🐘 Our elephant population has more than doubled since 2018, rising from 9,114 to approximately 21,700 according to the latest national census.
This incredible recovery story reminds us of what can happen when conservation, communities and wildlife are given the support they need to thrive. If you're heading here on holiday, you can find significant elephant populations in Gorongosa National Park .
