Pete–your statement,,,”we are reminded of our true significance ” is so true and reminds me of one of my earliest posts after I returned from our first visit. I remember mentioning feeling exhilarated by the visit but easily recognized my insignificance in the scheme of things.
I never tire of being in close proximity to the elephants.

Pete, what a great sighting! Must’ve been really fun to see them playing in the mud. The little one is especially cute. We love the look on Pat‘s face and look forward to more elephant adventures ourselves at Londolozi – we’ve had a few!

Brief as the video is….it put a huge smile on my face. The very young elephant warms my heart. I so look forward to seeing elephants when we can finally return to Londolozi next October. Hamba kahle.

There’s nothing better than watching a herd of elephants at play, wallowing in their mud bath and laughing inwardly whilst observing the babies trying to use their trunks. Thanx for including the video!
