He is an old friend and I would not like to say anything bad about him,
but his tusks cannot compete with those of Mkadebona....speaking of beauty

R I P Isilo ( “1956” – 2014 )
It is with deep sadness and regret that we announce the death of Isilo in Tembe Elephant Park.
Isilo died a natural death of old age in the South West section of the park about the 10th January 2014 in an area known to be his home range.
His carcass was only discovered about two weeks ago and unfortunately his magnificent tusks had already been stolen by suspected rhino poachers.
This is the reason for the delay in announcing his passing. This is a very sad and tragic time for all. His presence will be deeply missed.
