Cool… or maybe even lukewarm cool! 😉
Whatever it was it was just perfect for him!
The simple pleasures in life!
Very true indeed, thank you Amy!
I love the way elephants can seem so exuberant in what they do. Nicely captured.
Another light-hearted moment out in Kruger, seeing this goliath so obviously enjoying his mud-bath – it was just so clear that this wasn’t simply a functional exercise!
That is one large size beauty treatment!
The bill’s going to be shocking! 😀

Dankie Tina!
Doesn’t that look like a huge smile on his face? 🙂
It definitely does, Joanne!
Great pictures! He looks like a young elephant.
I agree, Robert – he probably only reached adulthood recently and still lots of “Joie de vivre” there!
Some mud is good for the skin, for elephant and human too. Thank you for the share!
He’ll be happy to hear you agree, Miriam!
Yes, with the scorching sun above their backs, they need that thick layer of mud!
I’ve often felt tempted to try it myself for that purpose!
Haha, there are “mud” products for massage, I haven’t tried!!
pure happiness
That’s what I also imagine seeing, thanks Gavin!
it didn’t do anything for his wrinkles lol. Great photos
He’s just going to use that as an excuse to go treat himself again!
Of course, I would too. Actually spa treatments have not done much for my wrinkles either 🤣, but they are nice
😀
Good on ya, Julie!
outstanding share
Thank you!
Nice photos 🙂
Thank you, Jesper
