Elephants - in Addo Elephant National Park, South Africa

Addo Elephant National Park, South Africa
For sure, I had a few more other exciting things on my list. So far, I have seen a lot of wildlife on my trip. However, for me wildlife is exciting again and again. So, I was very happy to go to Addo Elephant National Park. As one can imagine, there are a lot of elephants. Nevertheless, I was not prepared for that many of them! There were more than 200 elephants around one single water hole! It was so fascinating, that I spent three hours alone in this water hole! One elephant drinks water, the others have a bath, the next takes a healthy mud bath, a few teenage elephants fight, mama elephant shows her baby how to dive and hold the trunk like a snorkel upwards, grandma chases again and again the tiring warthogs away and the aunty keeps an eye on the tourists!
