Detour


Back to our safari,we saw so much that I hate to only talk about the cheetahs. The first game drive also included lots of elephants. We saw herds of them-males, mommas and lots of babies! The highlight was when the head male was being tested by one of the young males-typically they will test the older male, but the younger one will eventually give up and go away. We came across a very stubborn "teenager" that did not give up his fight, in fact at one point he picked up an entire tree trunk with his own trunk. We have some great footage of the two fighting...



This video is of a brand new baby elephant. When they are born they are very unsure of how to move around, and this little one was so clumsy with his big legs and his trunk!

We also saw a lot more animals, my favorites where the zebra and the giraffe; but the rhinos are also very cool-they resemble dinosaurs!
