Elephant walking across the campPosted by: ranger in SBT - Daily Game Reports on Avr 4, 2012 Tagged in: Bushtops Daily Game Reports

Reporting Date: 4th April 2012
It was about mid-day when a lonely bull elephant walked across the camp on his way to catch up with his herd that had left him behind enjoying some lush vegetation around a swamp. We saw him walking passed our fire-break path in big strides. At some point he stopped for a while and sniffed the air by lifting his trunk up while pointing at our direction before hurriedly walking away. He was a strong bull that we reckoned was in his early forties.
