Here, we are sharing two videos – the first shows Pocha and Guillermina in their last moments in Argentina.
The second live video captures Pocha and Guille crossing over into Brazil as our human teams from Argentina and Brazil meet up. The internet drops partway through, so there’s a bit of a break in the video. A little bit of paperwork to finalize, and then the drive through Brazil begins. Follow along as the tired team cries while bringing the girls home to Elephant Sanctuary Brazil Sorry that audio is not ideal with the phone out of the window, but we wanted to capture the moment.
Welcome to Brazil, P&G!

Katie Howard says
May 10, 2022 at 12:53 pmNo words needed! I don’t know how they are even managing to seal anyway! The lump in my throat is huge! I haven’t felt this mix of anxiety, relief and excitement since Rambo’s amazing transport. I am thrilled the girls are now in Brazil!!’ ❤️🐘🐘❤️

May 10, 2022 at 2:42 pmHow exciting is this?? WOW! Loved the videos Scott. Thank you so much for all of them. I am so anxiously awaiting arrival at Sanctuary. I can hardly wait to see the two girls place their feet onto actual ground versus pavement. OMG! So excited!
Well done all of you!

Carolyn McNeil says
May 11, 2022 at 10:33 amHy are the dots not updated as in previous rescues. It stays the same from morning to night and only changes once a day?
Sara says
May 11, 2022 at 11:40 amWe update them as often as we can. They are being updated a couple of times a day, if possible. There have been stretches of area that do not have good reception, so we don’t always get a correct GPS location. We have to wait for reception to improve before we can get an accurate location marker. We’ll keep updating as much as possible.
Carey says
May 12, 2022 at 6:33 amYou are very lucky working in such a caring compassionate country, with such support. I love South America ❤️!
Carey says
May 12, 2022 at 6:46 amWhat’s the drivers name? We should all thank him for his amazing work! ⭐️✌🏾Almost home, incredible.
Sara says
May 12, 2022 at 9:39 amThere are several drivers of the vehicles, but we will pass along your thanks when we see them later today!
Carey says
May 12, 2022 at 6:54 amPs I love it most when ordinary people step up, and do what ever they can. They quite possibly didn’t know the issues, they learnt them, and they helped, this is the amazing size of humanity. Such a relief to see wonderful Argentinians in this light, strong, in spite of their oh so difficult history. A good escape from …don’t talk about the war…you know where
Tammy says
May 12, 2022 at 8:47 amHi guys, where should we go to watch live? Dont want to miss a second of the girls stepping on to Sanctuary soil!
Sara says
May 12, 2022 at 9:40 amWe will be posting live videos on Facebook once they arrive. Just a few hours more!
Susan Flewelling says
May 12, 2022 at 7:52 pmHere it is Thursday evening in eastern Canada and i know i am not the only one on pins and needles awaiting word of the girls’ arrival at sanctuary!
Ema says
May 12, 2022 at 11:00 pmI watched the entire week, and today (thurs). It was amazing the team of people working together, and the calmness of the elephants, and wondered if the darkness of the night was a calming experience for the girls, or if they can still feel the vastness around them, especially the daughter. Thank you, for everyone’s work, vulnerability to changes and things not quite as planned, yet always aware of what was best for the girls. I cannot imagine how exhausted everyone must be, the ele’s included after the last 5 days of travel and today, stepping into their new home, their new life. Thank you to everyone involved !!!!!
