Sunset over a big bull elephant.
The sun was setting over a big bull elephant closer to our camp. He had a big tusk and seem to have seen a lot of life over the Serengeti plains and woodlands. He did not seem bothered at all by our presence as we watched him feed around the camp even after the beautiful sunset. There were a few others scattered around feeding on some small shrubs but they were smaller members of his herd.
