I can't resist, and show other elephants here...

I don't really know birds...
There are more than 200 species around the camp, like Merops, Musophaga, Lamprotornis, Egretta, Ibis, and many others...
Sometimes difficult to see them in the foliage!

It’s charging at… US…!
Only a part of the animal is visible: just because I did not wait for it to show...!
This elephant only pretended to charge and stopped soon.
But it can be dangerous.
Really.
NEVER walk around the camp on your own.
The guards always have a gun.

"We are too close, murmured the guard, this one has seen us and does not like it: look at it's ears... When they put their ears like that, it means they are angry."
