One of the big five and the most impressive in size! Yet they seem to be such gentle creatures but beneath this exterior lay a very powerful and sometimes aggressive animal.
My first sighting of a small herd in a dried up river bed. I presume they were all females not too sure about the little one. The males tend to be solitary when they get to a certain age.
This one seemed to be fairly young and even though the conditions were very dry she seemed to be in good shape
This was the youngest one of the group and seemed to be a little bit more adventurous but never strayed too far from the others.
We came across this lone bull at the side of the road grazing and it was amazing to see the strength and dexterity he had in his trunk. He broke the limbs of young tree like they were match sticks.

Come evening it seem to be a ritual when small groups came down to the water to drink. It was so dry it must have tasted so good to slake their thirst.
The southern view of a north bound Elephant. Even though they are large in size they move very quietly and purposefully and someone once said they look as if they walking to the ends of the earth.
