This map shows the movements of 15 elephants collared in southeastern Angola between October 2024 and March 2026, as part of efforts to restore the Great Elephant Corridor, a transboundary route linking Angola, Namibia and Botswana.
The elephants were fitted with satellite collars by INBAC (Angola’s National Institute for Biodiversity and Conservation Areas) in partnership with Elephants Without Borders (EWB) in September 2024.
Tracking data reveals that these elephants move widely across the Kavango–Zambezi Transfrontier Conservation Area. There movements have been recorded between Angola’s Mavinga and Luengue-Luiana National Parks, through Namibia’s Bwabwata National Park and the Caprivi Strip, and into Zambia’s Sioma Ngwezi National Park and Botswana’s Okavango Delta. These movements follow key river systems and confirm that elephants are naturally re-establishing connections across this landscape, despite barriers such as fences and settlements.
