Breakfast at a Hotel in Colombo. Transfer from Colombo to Pinnawala. The Pinnawela Elephant Orphanage, established in 1975, commenced with seven orphans.

With the help of local and foreign elephant experts, Pinnawela started a scientific captive-breeding programme for elephants. The free movement of the herd enhanced the chances for respective individuals of both sexes to get together and mate. The nearby river played a dominant role in this regard, and in 1984, the first baby of Pinnawela was born.
