It is with great sadness that we announce the death of our famous Amboseli elephant Tim.
He died at the age of 50 years old from natural causes. Tim was an iconic large male, whose fame catalyzed many conservation collaborations between KWS and conservation organizations.
He captured the hearts of people around the world, who would travel to Amboseli to photograph him. He was a wonderful elephant, and an ambassador for his species.
We will miss him but we also hope that his legend lives on and he continues to inspire people to protect elephants.
He has fathered many calves too, and we are happy he got to live a long life in the wild. .
