Elephants

Elephants are awesome!

Before heading to Africa, I was warned that the most dangerous situation I could encounter was if I was blocking the path between a baby elephant and her mother. We managed to avoid that grave situation but did find ourself being charged by an adult male who was lost from his herd and thought our vehicle was blocking his path back.

Nonetheless, elephants are awesome!

Here are a few that we saw -- again, all over the African plains!
