It is important to know proper etiquette when self driving among ellies. First you need to know that elephants love to eat and run,
and they love to cross roads.
They especially love eating and running whilst crossing roads.
But more than all these things combined, they love to block roads. What do you do when an elephant blocks the road?
You wait.
The worst thing of course is to inadvertently block the path of an irritable, lone bull elephant in musk, in pursuit of his disinterested, and fast disappearing, beloved.
What do you do when this happens?
Pray you can get the heck out of his way.
Elephants love to knock over trees, and they even love to try and knock over trees, they can’t knock over.
What do you do when this happens?
Watch, until the ellie gets really frustrated at the tree, and then get the heck out of his way.
The biggest tip to keep in mind when driving among wild ellies?
Do whatever the ellie wants you to do, cuz they really are so much bigger than you!
Cheers to you from South Africa’s intelligent, incredible, irreplaceable Pachyderms!
Personally, I love Elephants & once I sat on top of one in a park & it was fun !! Childhood memories came rushing 🙂
Yes, I rode an elephant once too, but I must saw, it is so much better to see them free and happy! Thanks for stopping by~
Yes it is indeed !! Welcome Cindy 🙂
I never thought I would see an elephant penis. Great shots of the beautiful creatures. ❤
Laughing, I was hesistant about posting it. But, it is nature and part of what was happening. Plus, I figured this was something not everyone has seen~
lol At least it is checked off my list. Oops that informs that it was on my list.
He he he 😉
Laughing,,,,,, good for you, you have an enquiring mind! 😉
Tom asked me if you had posted anything about elephants yet so will be forwarding this blog to him. Actually, he gets more of your blogs than any other blogger I send him. Tom doesn’t blog but now that he’s feeling better, he’s reading more and keeping up with more information.
Oh how wonderful. This makes blogging so worthwhile for me. Tell Tom if I have another elephant to post, I will dedicate it to him, and give him my very best wishes to keep feeling better! Abrazos mi amiga~ ❤ ❤
I love elephants, such gentle giants.
They are so wonderful. So intelligent and impressive!
Probably a bit cheeky to describe this as my favourite post of yours, seeing as I’ve just discovered your site, but these pics are so cute. Love the descriptions too.
Awwww, so kind and very appreciated too! Cheers to you~
Wonderful post 🙂
Possibly not too handy though, unless you are planning to drive amongst wild ellies!
Wow, impressive images 🙂
The elephants deserve the credit for this! They are quite impressive creatures~
