Reporting Date: 26th January 2012
Elephants “ invades” camp.
It was at about 9 am when a group of elephants decided that it was long since they paid the camp a visit. They were about 100 animals all together which included males, females with calves of various ages. They were not in a hurry as they peacefully grazed on the grass and shrubs near the tents whereby ever so often they would stop to listen and study their surroundings then continue walking slowly. The early morning sun made everybody in camp to have a good view of these mega-herbivores. Later after about half an hour, they were rallied by the matriarch to move on but left a promise to come back.
