I took this photograph of an elephant bull with widely splayed tusks just outside of Letaba Rest Camp on our way out of the Kruger National Park yesterday, after my brother Niel and I had completed the Olifants Wilderness Trail (more on our fantastic trail experiences to follow later!).

What a Beaut!
PS – When I visit your blog I don’t want to leave… you really have a way of showing us Africa’s best!
Thanks AJ, it’s nice to know that what we do means something to someone out there!

That elephant photo is really nice – very curvy, nicely framed, and the lighting is just right!
Thank you for the kind and encouraging comment S R S!

Jumbo!! Always awesome, beautifully captured
They’re such beautiful animals hey Joey? Few things as beautiful as a big bull on the move, the massive head held high and swaying from side to side as he strides with loads of attitude through the bush…
We just recently saw a National Geographic series on the Zambesi River. They showed a lot of jumbo and I have always loved them. Their sense of family and support is amazing to me and as humans we can learn a lot from them. They also showed a lot of the other animals that migrate when the rains start and the Zambesi floods the plains. Nostalgia for me to watch that and know that I grew up around those areas. Have canoed down the Zambesi River and dodged hippos and lived to tell the tale…..:-)
Canoeing down the Zambezi, especially through Mana Pools, sounds like heaven on earth Joey!
Those are some BIG curves!
;-). Jessie!
Great for the challenge, love the photo.
Thank you PJB!
Wonderful elephant.
They are such beautiful, charismatic animals, aren’t they Tish?
Excellent choice. Love the shot!
Thank you very much Tina for always giving us such positive feedback!
Awesome. I LOVE elephants. You are lucky to be so near to them.
We are indeed very blessed to be here at the southern end of Africa!
Lots of curves here besides the tusks: rings on trunk, the curves of the ears, of the forehead, of the trunk….
Thanks Beauty A.t.R for contributing again so positively, we really do appreciate you spending time here with us!
