But they're not nearly as calm as the Addo ellies!
And so quietly too!

Right, the Addo elephants are special

Minus those getting-out-of-the-car people...
God put me on earth to accomplish a certain amount of things. Right now I'm so far behind that I'll never die.

Whenever they do come too close I got frantic as you sad they can indeed be very fast

Re: Our Pilanesberg Adventures
There were plenty of cars at this sighting but for some reason this young mom took exception to us! 
She kept her eyes on us all the time and eventually walked straight towards us and we had to drive off and wait for her to return to the herd before driving back again!
Elliebums!!
The ellies were having a ball in the mud!
A jackal caught me unawares as I took this pic!
We had been with the ellies for nearly 2 hours and in that time we counted 78 of them!!
When we left, three of the bulls we had seen in the water when we first arrived were still swimming!! It was an amazing sighting and Ash was over the moon!
