Elephants, wherever you encounter them, are wild animals. Close, unsupervised contact with any elephant should never be initiated. Do not climb into enclosures; do not get out of vehicles. Do not tailgate an elephant. Think of how you might behave if a stranger suddenly appeared in your living room. Or materialized out of a solid object. Think of how you would react to a dog nattering at your heels. Respect these great gray beings and they will respect you.
Really enjoyed stumbling upon this blog, thanks for sharing your photos. Africa never leaves you, but it sure feels like I’m a long way from home today. These pics really brightened my day 🙂
Thant you, Michelle! Where did you live in Africa?
Hi Cheryl, I was born and brought up in Malawi. My parents still live and work out there so I still have strong ties to Malawi, but despite being in the UK for over 15 years now I still feel homesick! your photos are a lovely reminder, thank you Mx
I hope you get to visit them occasionally. Thanks for the kind words about my photographs.
We’re enjoying your daily elephant posts!
Thanks, Stephen!
