After a week of camping along the coast in the Eastern Cape and southern KwaZulu-Natal (from Chintsa to Coffee Bay to Southbroom), we now have wifi at the Marriott near Durban. I can finally post these adorable elephants! My video skills need serious improvement, but for all the shakiness it's still really fun to watch these guys, especially the babies--look for them in the background. And, by the way, all of the hiccups are me losing the camera each time the big bull turned around to look at us. He was huge! Our 4x4 was nothing next to him.
Just in case you don't see this YouTube video from the mobile view, it's also here.
I wish the video did those guys justice. Talk about feeling vulnerable. I’m wondering how well I’ll do in Kruger when we see elephants next. And next time I’m going to have the Go Pro running, so better footage to share without less trembling. 😊
