Wild South Africa
Kruger National Park
Pardon the simple title but when it came up, it stuck. These are wild wild elephants and I was alone in the middle of nowhere at Grootvlei dam near the border with Mozambique. I also was a bit too close for comfort but sensed that they were not in an aggressive mood. Sorry again for the childish title.
Full frame (actually too full). No crop.

A elephant family going out for a walk at Tarangire National Park.
It was a great spectacle, because they were approaching to our car slowly until to pass beside us. It was an amazing experience.

We came across this guy who I nicknamed Stompie (Stomp Stert) as most of his tail was missing.
Anyway, as with a lot of elephants we met he didn't take kindly to our presence and treated us to a display of his strength which started with this dust shower.

the Nairobi Elephant Sanctuary, they rescue the baby Elephant's who's mother's were probably killed by poachers they bottle feed them until they are old enough to feed them self's , then after Five years they return them back in to the Wild to there natural habitat .. they do a fantastic job at the Sanctuary.
Our first destination on Day One was the Pinnawala Elephant Orphanage.
The orphanage was founded to care for and protect the many orphaned wild elephants found wandering in and near the forests of Sri Lanka. It was established in 1975 by the Sri Lanka Department of Wildlife Conservation (DWC).
It is currently situated in Pinnawala village, on a 25 acre (10 ha) coconut plantation adjacent to the Maha Oya River.
It was planned so as to attract local and foreign visitors, the income from which would help to maintain the orphanage.
Here's a huge elephant that was just wandering around the Khwai Magotho campground in Botswana.
The elephant kept away from people, and people stayed out of the elephant's way...

African Elephant (Loxodonta africana) charging down a dirt road kicking up lots of dust as she comes. Image taken in Sanbona Wildlife Reserve of South Africa. We were backing up as fast as we could but since I was not driving, I took advantage of the situation and kept a steady finger on the trigger.
This situation developed in very high grass, so high we could not see any Elephants about. When we rounded a blind corner, there were no Elephants in the road. All of a sudden this one came charging out of the bush, unseen before she started her charge, and we frantically backed to give way. She stopped just short of our vehicle but we moved on out of her way and kept backing out of sight.

Last week i had a very wonderful trip to some nice little places in Kerala. I came across this cool guy in a kraal, near to the "Periyar" river. Here wild elephants are caught and then trained. This Baby elephant was very active. Whenever I saw him, we was shaking his head and dancing. It was a great delight to watch..
Amboseli is heaven for elephant lovers! African elephants fill the landscape: old, young and the just born. You could watch them for hours. They walk around as part of a big herd but this one was unusual in that aspect. Wandering the savannah plains all by itself, it seemed to walk towards a far off herd of elephants. Perhaps it had broken off from the herd and lost its way and had finally found its family! I would like to think that. Sometimes I wish I could read their minds :)

This was probably the one time on the trip I moved slightly nervously in my seat as this bull elephant headed straight for the vehicle with good pace. I looked across at Lucas our guide and he looked pretty calm with no sign of starting the engine so I took a brave pill and kept taking the pictures.
If you view large you can see the droplets of water from his ear. No crop!
