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.

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.
These beautiful creatures have always been a special part of my life. From the time I was a little kid and fed the neighbourhood elephant lots of bananas and plums at my Grandma's place in Haridwar to the day I visited the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust at Nairobi National Park. They are such wonderful beings and such fun to watch that the mind boggles as to how people massacre these giants for their tusks. Why not live and let live? This endless destruction of nature needs to see an end somewhere. Humans are selfish beings and will most certainly lead to the demise of our planet. But conservation efforts such as that at the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust give us hope that there is certainly light at the end of this rather grim tunnel.
A group of elephants were actively feeding on the trees and bushes in the area and this medium-sized individual appeared to be doing a brief demonstration on how to use one's trunk for the benefit of the little guy.

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.
This moment was and still is very special to me. At the time we were driving to the Etosha NP. On our way we came across this beautiful solitaire male desert elephant. He was standing at a water plateau drinking.

I've been looking at the photos I took when we spent 10 days in Zimbabwe back in September 1999, trying to improve them. Then I thought I'd make a collage of some of the photos I took of my favourite animal, the elephant. Hope you like it.
Elephants at Sunset on the Chobe River in Botswana. Farmers in the area were burning their dry fields... the sky was filled with smoke, which created this great mood.
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 Zoo had two family groups kept together by the matriarch, all went very well, until the matriarch died last year. One family stood up against the other. A difficult situation for the zoo too, they had to keep both families seperated . Recently one of the families moved to another zoo in the Netherlands.
