We checked on the baby elephant and we were pleasantly surprised to find him more active and trying to get up. He was surrounded by the entire herd, more than 20. It was amazing to watch them use their trunks and even their feet to try to help him up. A few of the herd made aggressive moves at the vehicle, as if to charge, to protect the little guy. At one point our vehicle was completely surrounded by elephants! We left the baby, hoping for the best, but fearing the worst.
We got to see some new creatures today
Roan antelope...
Sable antelope
Tsessebe antelope (fastest antelope)
The afternoon found us on a small boat game drive. It was a great way to see many do the amazingly beautiful birds. We were on the Chobe river which is the border between Zimbabwe and Namibia.
After the boat game drive it was back to our camp, tonight the camp was full (10 guests) Our wonderful hot bucket shower was waiting for us. We are hot & very dirty but this place is magical and we love it here!
Fun fact
- A group of giraffes that is standing still is called a tower
