| This mini was inspired by one of the many elephants Wendy and I saw on our last trips to Africa, in November of 2023. Each morning, before sunrise, a group of elephants would walk through the camp in the dark. These paths were the same paths we walked from our tent to the place we met Anthony, our safari guide and our vehicle. We had to be very careful walking these paths in the dark and were often escorted by Rangers. It was amazing, because this small herd of elephants were very quiet as they walked, so you could be completely unaware of their presence if you didn't see them. I can only imagine what it would have been like to meet a large bull, like this one on the trail in the dark. |
