Jochum
African savanna elephant (Loxodonta africana) at
Pongola Game Reserve in South Africa

Jochum was born wild 1962?.

1997: Three bulls that had recently been translocated from Kruger National Park to another reserve in the area, broke out and decided to take up residency in the Pongola Game Reserve: ‘Douw’ about 50 years old, ‘Jochum’ about 35 and ‘Ingane’ about 25.

Jochum and Ingane escaped from the Pongola Game Reserve via the Pongola river line. Jochum’s ‘wanderlust’ took him to a neighbouring reserve 50km away, and Ingane went to another, over 40km away. Ingane and Jochum then returned to Pongola by themselves. Ingane and Jochum then returned to Pongola by themselves.
