Leading up to the huge, two-year project, Malawi had to undergo some changes. The country’s infrastructure would not have coped under the pressure of transporting elephants such a great distance.
Therefore, before relocating the pachyderms, African Parks had to ensure that everything was prepared. Roads and river crossings were repaired and replaced, so that they were easily accessible and as safe as can be so the elephants wouldn’t have to travel hundreds of miles on bumpy roads, or over bridges that could easily give in under the weight.
