“It’s amazing to see such unbelievable creatures being moved in a way that you could never even dream of,” Harry said in a 2016 video from a trip where he helpedmove 500 wild elephantsfrom the Liwonde National Park and Majete Wildlife Reserve to Nkhotakota Wildlife Reserve. “To be with elephants – such a massive beast – is such a unique experience. In a weird way they know that we are here to help. Otherwise, the wake up box would be a completely different story. And they are so calm. They’re so relaxed.”
