Then we got a bit more up close and personal with the elephants. Firstly this is how small a rider on a little Suzuki looks next to a large elephant. This time there was no drama, the elephant just wanted to cross the road.
As Kit and Simon missed out on the elephants coming down from Maun I was keen they would get a good viewing on this road and suddenly we spotted one. They manoeuvred the GS up and I got in position to photograph. The elephant was feeding and initially in the shade. Finally he came out from behind the tree and Kit and Simon were trusting me to keep an eye on the elephant, while they posed for the photo. Actually I was just focussing on framing the shot, but the elephant remained chilled and we did have comms if he suddenly got frisky. Another special moment of the trip.
