On our afternoon safari Jacques and I set out to look for the Lions when Carlene, our chef, radioed in that she saw an Elephant bull on her way to drop off the staff. We quickly changed our route and set out to relocate the big animal. On our way to where she had spotted the big bull we found fresh tracks of the whole herd and followed them to a Sickle bush thicket were we found them relaxed and feeding. The young Elephants were very playful, bumping heads, jumping on each other’s backs and chasing every member of the herd in circles. We spent almost 40 minutes with the herd until the matriarch decided it was time to move on. One by one they crossed the road greeting us in turn before disappearing into the thick bush. What an awesome encounter!
