On a one day safari to Pilanesberg National Park recently, we got trapped in a breeding herd of elephant.

Sometimes these very close-up sightings get the guests excited and sometimes they get anxious. This particular close-up sighting of elephant in Pilanesberg was described by one of my guests as “a life changing experience”.

One of the adult cows of the herd gave us some really good poses and kept them long enough for us to take good photos.
