Elephant in the Wild – Stuck in Customs

Elephant in the Wild

Tracking Elephants

I’m not exactly the greatest animal tracker in the world, so I was really watching my guides as they tried to find some of these elephants. They actually had great difficulty and we looked for hours before finally finding them. But then, sure enough, there they were! We found one, then five, then several families. And then we were with them for many hours… we never got tired of watching them and following them along the riverbeds!

Daily Photo – Elephant in the Wild

There are not a lot of wild African animals in Namibia, but one of them is the desert-adapted elephant. They walk along the dried river beds with their families, constantly moving and eating in a never-ending buffet. Imagine that – waking up and going straight to a buffet with your family and eating All Day Long. You never get to sit down, but you can just keep walking along a neverending buffet… so strange to think about. But, I guess the bad thing about it would be that it’s just a nonstop salad bar and you never get to the good stuff.
