Elephant herd close to a tentPosted by: ranger in SBT - Daily Game Reports on Sep 8, 2012 Tagged in: Bushtops Daily Game Reports

Reporting Date: 8th September 2012
These mega-herbivores came visiting the camp again as they have always done in the previous days. This is now a normal occurrence in the camp. This time it was the females with calves of various ages that walked through the camp in the morning hours. They were not in a hurry to leave and the guests in the camp had a good view of these animals closer to their tents. one female gently pushed her calf forward with her trunk so as to keep it in view.
