Oltupai (Elephant)
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).
