Addo Elephant National Park – February 21, 2013

At the far eastern point and a last visit with the South African National Park Rest camps. I cannot give enough praise for the ease of registration, high quality and value for dollar their rest camps provide. During one drive, we came across several elephants enjoying a watering hole, the elephants had a well protected newborn elephant that stood no taller then it’s mom knees. So cute! We estimated the elephant as one week old, and larger elephants included several juveniles. We watched those big guys use their trunks as a nose, a siphoning device, a spray mud or dust to keep the flies away, wrap it around their tusks, or to place it lovingly on the head of a smaller member of their herd. We learn something new every day, and lucky to be so inspired by what you see it keeps you asking questions.
