Elephants in Botswana and Namibia

 

There are over 120,000 elephants in the Chobe National Park ecosystem, so wherever we went, there were elephants- elephants of all sizes, from babies to huge bull elephants.

 

 

 

 

 

There are many islands in the river, and the elephants go wherever they want to find the best grasses.

 

 

Baby elephants are well-cared for by the rest of the family.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sometimes, elephants just like to stop and wallow in the mud. We saw this several times.

 

 

Here's a video of some elephants that stopped to wallow in the mud. Check out the baby! Remember, to watch the video you must go to the website (goldentrailsofafrica.blogspot.com).






 



These animals are so majest

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here are a couple more photos showing how the family protects its babies.
