Atfore

We were on our last game drive in early November at Kwandwe Private Game Reserve, South Africa, when we came upon this male elephant. The elephant, took a drink, struck a pose and ambled on his way. Richard, our ranger, told us he was about 25 yrs old and as a lone male did not have a herd. He would not expect to mate until he was 40!

This was kind of an amazing morning. It was our last day at Kwandwe and we were trying to find lion cubs. We did not have much time, this drive was to be only half as long as a usual one. We were moving fast, but did not miss a thing. We did not find lion cubs but we saw this elephant, waited for a giraffe to clear a road, saw a hippo in the water and watched a lion sit on a freshly killed antelope. Not bad for a quick morning drive before catching a plane!
