Elephants in the Hoanib
On the banks of the Hoanib River, lions often have encounters with elephants that were feeding along the riverbank. Watching the lions (and elephants) over a two-day period, was beautiful. The social dynamics within the elephant heard was fascinating, and especially their attentiveness and care for the small calves.
