FURIOUS ELEPHANTS

Samstag, den 05. Januar 2013 um 05:42 Uhr Geschrieben von: DEUS

Northern Serengeti has many herds of Elephants. Elephants do not have territories or boundaries, they always move the way they like. Sometimes they do go to the nearby village which is around 20km away from the camp for Pumpkins, Cassava, Millet etc. which they like so much. This does prompt the Tanzanian park Authorities to chase them back to the park; as a result the Elephants get furious for being denied what they think is their favorite meal. This was the case today as our Rangers were dropping the Guests to the Airstrip, when they were made to wait for fifteen minutes after Elephants blocked the road. At one point the matriarch tried to charge on them.
