Those ellie bulls in that area are always a bit strange

We once turned around on the Tzendze Loop because one was not willing to clear the road

We do also always see tsessebes only in the area around Mopani

You had a couple of stunning sightings there although it still is looking extreme dry

Thank you all for the nice comments

The next morning we decided to take it easy and make breakfast at our bungalow. This was the big day we will meet the Dimwits

But that will only be at 12 so we decided to take another road trip to Mooiplaas waterhole.

Just outside the gate we saw some movement in the bush. A big heard of elephants wanted to cross the road causing a small road block



This little one checked us out for a while.....then he asked his mommy: is that aliens I smell mommy



Mommy I'm afraid of aliens



Come mommy lets run



I'm getting out of here



The cars in front of us never gave these elephants any space. And this lady decided she wants a better view



And then the next little one came flying over the road...... look at my wings mommy....I can fly





Then came big brother to make sure he is ok



After they crossed the road this youngster was still checking us out. Mommy these aliens look weird



Aliens I'm watching you



Next stop...... Mooiplaas waterhole

great series of ellie pics mr alf

The little one is too cute!

Even small and very young ellies are intelligent and full of common sense
and they are sooo cute

is it like that do you speak with your little aliens
Ellies can fly, ellies to that, ellies ... etc...
interesting sequence with these Ellies

That is a VERY dangerous situation, Alpheus!

It is highly unusual for the babies to leave the moms, looking at your pics?

Those cars were lucky, IMO...maybe a herd not really used to tourists?
