The Tjololo Diaries

28th August 2000
I don’t know why but it just felt extra special to be with Tjololo last night. He didn’t do anything new or different. Maybe that’s why, ‘cos he went about his normal self in a fairly predictable way.
We found him resting up in the Sand river at dusk obviously having finished his bushbuck carcass.


He was on the move most of the night, north up the river then a long way east, stretching further northeast than he has in months. Hassled a couple of times by hyaenas when he tried to rest he moved about half way south in his territory before resting up soon after sunrise.

Usually the big elephant bulls hang out in ones and two’s, so it was great to find all these big guys together.

Having satisfied their thirst they were in no hurry to move on and as if in slow motion they sidled across the river to the mud wallow. It seems as if the whole world stands still for these guys. They rule! Are they not the “King of Beasts”?
