We are saddened by the death of Dida who was possibly Africa’s largest female Tusker and a Matriarch residing in
Tsavo East National Park. She died from natural causes due to old age having lived a full life to about 60-65 years old.
She shepherded her herd through many seasons and challenging times. She served as both the subject of various documentaries and an iconic tourist attraction.
