On many occasions I’ve had elephant right up close, only to have them move off with not even the slightest of noise. Those big feet are amazingly silent. I had one experience with One-tusk who approached my vehicle while I was resting and I only became aware of her presence when I felt sand landing on me as she was dust bathing a few meters away.
I left the reserve in the early hours of the morning and with a detour through Johannesburg’s traffic and big smoke to drop off my camera for servicing, I eventually arrived at my destination 14 hours later. Not bad timing for 1300kms.
I just love the way elephants stick together, always looking after one another. Have fun, Kim!
Wow, if you drove non-stop, that would have meant about 60mph for 14 hours - but then there must have been a BeitBridge stop, a food stop - so it becomes close to flying over those roads.
The movies was so good
