Unfortunately, we couldn’t laze around for long, as we were hungry and booked on a game drive for just an hour and half after our massage ended. So we ran out to the town to grab some lunch and then quickly headed back for our tour.

We visited two lake areas in the park and there was a big herd by each. A whole panorama of elephants if you will.

There was also a fairly big crowd of humans watchers, lined up to view the elephants. (Although to be fair, apart from this short period of time where all the jeeps ended up congregating in the same spot, it didn’t feel too overrun with other tourists). 

The elephants were mesmerising to watch – these massive creatures in their natural environment, just getting along with their daily business. And they got pretty close to us too.

We particularly enjoyed watching some of the baby elephants playing with the older elephants and chasing after each other.
