Back with Mandlovu at last.

But it took most of the day to find them and an overheated car. With the grass standing some 4 to 5ft high it didn’t take long to block up my radiator, even with gauze in front to keep them out.

Mandlovu and her herd were with the same little family from the other day in the north east of the reserve. These guys and the big herd couldn’t be further apart.

Also with Mandlovu were 2 young bulls, the one being Snorkel. He’s doing really well and his breathing problem almost seems to have gone.

So why would these elephants be so far removed from the main herd and for such a long time? It’s over a week now.

My only thought is it’s the marulas. Marula trees are most plentiful in this part of the reserve and elephants love marulas!
