Indulging in a delicious bush breakfast in the Okavango Delta, after walking with 3 semi-habituated fully grown elephants for 2 hours before that...what a truly unique & humbling experience to interact with these magnificent beasts in the wild.

  Hey Anza - Not only did I get a kiss from Jabu…but also a line of defence & protection, when a wild male bull elephant decided to “gate-crash” our lovely breakfast & wreck havoc. All 3 elephants - Marula, Jabu & Tembi quickly turned away from us & ran off after the bull elephant, chasing him away from us & our bush breakfast setup…whilst we retreated to a waiting safari vehicle, withour coffees still in hand & thankfully, still unspilt!
