Day 6: From Sirenhi to Crook's Corner


Approaching Baobab Hill, we came around a corner to be met with a big elephant bull walking on the road and coming towards us. A very relaxed gentleman and we would give him enough space to enjoy his walk. So we where reversing ... and reversing ... he was walking ... what a delight to watch him for about half an hour.

Another car came, decided to pull to the side of the road to let the ellie pass ... end of reversing & bull watching - he turned into the Mopane bush :-(
