The elephants spent this cool day in the sandveld.
And eat and eat is what they did all day. But with the temperatures being a lot cooler the calves were full of fun and all of them playing with each other.
Even some of the bulls took time out to wrestle.
When these sands are moist after rain, the elephant love to search for tubers, which are then so much easier to dig out. And Chipfongwe took full advantage of each hole his mother dug, either to find scraps of tubers or just to roll in the cool moist soils.
I left the elephant at dusk and just down the way found an adult male lion. He was lying down but hearing the elephant approaching, he was up and ducked off into the thick mopanie. Not even time for a photo.
