So the next episode we have a very naughty elephant O**

We turned off onto the S142 Shongololo loop. About 4km down this road we found MR ELEPHANT standing in the middle of the road. 0*\

The moment he heard our car he turned around and looked at us as if he wanted to say: This is my road ^0^

We stopped and gave him his space O-/

He then moved off to our left and I told Mrs Alf that I'm going to try and sneak past him so everyone needs to hold on.............

As I was moving forward slowly he then gave us the LOOK O-/

Image

We could see this elephant means business. :shock:

And the next moment he just came straight towards us 0-

Image

After a few meters he stopped....... And gave us another look.

Image

Mrs Alf just took photos as he was charging and I tried to get past still very slowly not realizing he is coming fast towards us

Image

Image

Image

And he got closer and closer

Image

Image

Image

I slammed the petrol down as hard as I could when Mrs. Alf screamed he is charging and with the noise of the wheels on the gravel road I think it frightened him and he stopped.

Crazy elephant I thought =O: =O:

So we were laughing and said: now he will wait for the next car to arrive. lol lol


Next trip to the bush??

Let me think......................

I love elephants when they are relaxed. But there was no intention of any game here. I just tried sneaking past him without making him unhappy.... but it didn't work
