The stand-off

I often get the question … how close can we get to the animals? I always think to myself: close enough to get your heart pumping and making you all going very quiet … because of the adrenaline rush!

It is one thing to know that an elephant can weigh in excess of 10 tons, standing up to 4m tall … but it is quite another to be facing off one of these monsters. Photos don’t really do justice … but they give you a vague idea. And that is one of the things that makes safaris so exciting! It is a bit of a challenge with your senses. These animals are VERY unusual, and very, VERY big.

So here an elephant encounter last week. Close enough? 😉
