If you would like to receive multiple adoptions for multiple recipients please place separate orders for each adoption. This will not affect your overall cost as shipping and handling are set for each adoption.
African Elephant (Loxodanta africana)
Age: Estimated 47-52
Countries: Kenya and Tanzania
Oltupai was first identified as one of the dominant bull elephants in the Amboseli Elephant Research Project in Kenya. Once presumed killed, remarkably, he showed up (with many families that had not been seen in Amboseli for four years) in Tanzania’s West Kilimanjaro Area. Oltupai is quite friendly, but only when visitors approach by vehicle. (Elephants that have spent time in Amboseli Natoinal Park are used to tour vehicles. But a human on foot could be a potential threat). During the heat of the day, he tends to seek shade in an oltupai thicket, which is where he gets his name.
More information on Oltupai is included in the Factsheet, which will be delivered along with a plush elephant and a personal adoption certificate (suitable for framing) to you or the person of your choice. Your adoption also includes an annual African Wildlife Foundation membership, and one-year subscription to our quarterly, “African Wildlife News.”

Canadian and Mexico addresses will be charged a flat rate of $18.95 shipping and handling per adoption. Overseas shipping addresses will be charged a flat rate of $24.95 per adoption. |
