Elephant Encounters

Passed some elephants just before the end of the bush drive this morning. In both cases, they made clear, sometimes in multiple ways, that we should keep moving.

Then within 3 minutes of our return to camp, a solitary, big, bull elephant came walking up the lane.

Check out the 4 videos below for more. It may take a minute for them to load but they should eventually do so. By

Enjoy!

Our driver, Otsile, revved the motor to let the elephant know we weren’t to be messed with; you can hear Otsile talking about mutual respect at the end
Shortly after I ended this video, the lead elephant vocalized a scolding; I hit stop too soon and missed it.
I had just put my gear down, turned around and saw this big guy heading our way.
And here he stands and watches, dusting himself about 15 seconds in.
