Several elephant herds came to drink near a bridge across the river in Madikwe Game Reserve, South Africa.
We had a great time observing their interaction especially as there were calfs of different ages.

This was a very rushed hike to see Goldstream park on the way to the ferry. Would we be late or would we make our ferry. After waiting for a rather large lady that I didn't want to mess with finish her swim I managed to get a quick shot in and bolt for the ferry. Yes it looks like an Elephant!! Thanks for looking. Kris.
Taken Addo Elephant National Park, Eastern Cape, South Africa.
Addo Elephant National Park is a diverse wildlife conservation park situated close to Port Elizabeth in South Africa and is one of the country's 20 national parks. It currently ranks third in size after Kruger National Park and the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park. I spent four consecutive days within the park which provided an amazing variety of wildlife.
At last!! I’ve finally written a blog on Namibia (it’s a bit of a mammoth one)!
If you fancy having a read the link is below. Hopefully it gives a flavour of what the place is like...
Young male elephants, in the same herd, will interact with each other at a relatively early age. As they get older they will play-fight with other young males of a similar age from other families.
They learn their own strength, build knowledge and develop the skills which they will need as mature males. When they reach about 12 to 15 years of age, they will leave the family and drift alone or join other families and later form groups. (Shingwedzi, Kruger National Park, RSA)

Macaranga tanarius
Macaranga tanarius is a plant found in South East Asia, Papua New Guinea and eastern Australia. It's commonly seen as a pioneer species in disturbed rainforest areas. Easily recognised for the round veiny leaves. In Australia it naturally occurs from the Richmond River, New South Wales to Cooktown in tropical Queensland. (Source:

With the water being low in the Sand River, elephants feed on the grasses in the middle of the river and then cross over to the other side to continue on their journey.

I was photographing elephants a safe distance in front of me when I heard a noise behind me. This is what I saw when I looked back.
