Elephants at the weir.




One day was just parked at the weir across a small tributary
of the sabie and watching the hippo basking in the sun when out of the blue a
large herd of elephants bore down on us. Coming at quite a clip they were
obviously thirsty and charged right into the water. The hippo was ignominiously
ousted from his position as boss of the pool and the elephants waded in.
The resident crocodile also got a little start and then he
maintained his position off to one side as the hippo clambered out of the
deepest section and came over to one side.

The herd was obviously heading for some specific place cuz
as quickly as they came they gathered together and in a few minutes were gone.
