Details are still coming in but it seemed that a large male elephant was either very attracted to or intensly annoyed with Anna and Joanne. Not sure which is more likely. The other travelers were alerted by screams from their Land Rover and turned to see the truck speeding away from a chasing bull elephant. Fortunately for our adventurers, Land Rover's are faster than elephants.
Despite the excitement, the safari was amazing and enjoyed by all. Another highlight was coming upon a pride of lions finishing off a wildabeast kill. While the vegetarians in the group were rather mortified, everyone was amazed when the lions decided to rest in the shade of their trucks, close enough that they could see the blood on their fur. A cheetah and her cubs also made an appearance. Not a bad way to end a trip in Africa.
The team is now heading back to the airport for their return home. Fortunately, KLM is a bit more reliable in terms of the timing of their flights than some of the other African aviation companies. Hope to see them back this weekend.
