This herd of elephants was just walking towards the waterhole without even looking where they were going. |
They were shocked ajd surprised to almost walk in to our vehicles. |
Once they were over their fright, they walked between our two vehicles. |
More elephants |
We ended up seeing between 500 and 700 elephants this night. Unbelievably cool. |
