Well, as promised, I am back with more pics of the Pilanesberg Game Reserve and Sun City surroundings. We encountered an elephant calf lying in the middle of the road, enjoying the heat of the tar road, with mom keeping a watchful eye nearby. We waited for about an hour for the youngster to get up, before we could continue. What an amazing experience to just quietly sit and listen to the sounds of the bush.

At first I thought he was dead because he lay sooo still!

Once he had warmed up, he slowly got up and moved towards his mother who was patiently waiting for him!

I hope that you have enjoyed this little encounter we had with the elephant calf. 

Thanks for stopping by. See you soon!
