Overview

• A Spanish visitor at Ol Jogi Conservancy in Laikipia posted an Instagram clip showing beer poured into a bull elephant’s trunk before deleting it after heavy criticism.
• Ol Jogi staff condemned the breach of rules and said copies of the footage are being provided to the relevant authorities.
• The Kenya Wildlife Service confirmed it is investigating, and the BBC authenticated the footage and location.
• Media reports identify the elephant as Bupa, a well-known bull with a distinctive damaged tusk rescued decades ago.
• Additional clips show the same man touching a rhinoceros at Ol Pejeta, which the conservancy says violates its no-touch policy, sharpening scrutiny of tourist conduct in Kenyan reserves.
