@elvonicatravel: Today, Kenya and the world says goodbye to one of the most iconic elephants ever to roam our wild lands. Craig, the legendary super tusker of Amboseli National Park, has passed away at the age of 54. Born in January 1972 to the great matriarch Cassandra of the CB elephant family, Craig grew to become one of the last remaining super tuskers in Africa a rare class of bulls with tusks so massive that they swept the ground as he walked. For decades, Craig stood as a living symbol of Kenya’s natural heritage and successful conservation efforts. His calm, dignified presence made him a beloved figure among tourists, researchers, photographers, and local communities alike. Thanks to years of dedicated protection by the Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS), conservation partners, and local communities, Craig lived his life in freedom surviving threats that have claimed so many of his kind across the continent. In 2021, his global appeal and ambassadorial status were recognised when he was adopted by East African Breweries under the Tusker brand, cementing his place as not just a Kenyan icon, but a global ambassador for wildlife conservation. Craig also contributed to the future of his species by fathering several calves, ensuring that his powerful genes and gentle temperament will continue to live on in new generations. His passing from natural causes marks the end of an era for Amboseli and for elephant lovers everywhere. Though Craig is gone, his legacy will forever remain in the hearts of those who were fortunate enough to witness this magnificent creature in the wild. Rest in peace, Craig a true giant of the wild. 🌿🐘 #Craigtheelephant#kenya #amboseli #safari
