Our Pilanesberg Adventures

[Flutterby]

Wow what a great elephant spa day

The photobombing jackal!

Elephants have an almost erotic relationship with mud

But they're not nearly as calm as the Addo ellies!

One of those bulls has a reputation for having a go at cars.

Yes...Amarula.

We eventually left the ellies behind and started making our way back to Mankwe gate.

Along the way we came across these adorable piggies.

Our last sighting was this ellie...both his tusks were incredibly thick but broken. He could have been a huge tusker!!

[Richprins]

Very nice and thanks, Flutts!

And a fancy video you made!

Did you take a video camera?

[Flutterby]

Yes....how else would I take a video?

[Alf]

Cute little piggies

[Richprins]

With a normal camera!

[Flutterby]

My camera doesn't take videos. They video camera I use is actually the Brat's old Canon SX 30.

[Dzombo]

Yes...Amarula.

Ah, yes, I had an "encounter" with him many years ago.
Charged my car, and I had my 4 y o son screaming in the back "he's trying to kill us!"

[Flutterby]

We came across him once and he was so calm.

[Lisbeth]

All in all it looked like a nice day, apart from all the driving You were certainly not short of elephants

Thanks for taking the trouble to post it. Very enjoyable

I "Ash" an Afrikaan's name? In English it sounds rather sad or is it an abbreviation of Ashley? There is a bungalow here called "Ash"
