This is where we saw our first lions in the wild, it was a great moment.
The camp sites are huge.
The amenities are surrounded by a big block fence to keep the elephants out. There used to be an issue with elephants putting their trunks into the shower stalls to get water when people where in there. You are not allowed to walk from your campsite to the toilets, you have to drive.
After dinner we where enjoying a couple of drinks around the camp fire, suddenly elephants started walking into our camp site. They just kept coming and in the end there where 17 elephants within 15 feet of us. OMG! They where calm enough to start eating grass, so we relaxed too. What an experience!
Michelle got a bit scared. The marks on the photo is dirt on her window.
This was a close encounter.

Michelle told me these 2 were dancing.
I think he wants a beer.

The road out.
Looks great, I like our camps better, this one may have been a bit too close for comfort, with 15 elephants in your camp...Michelle seems to be the one to attract the 'close encounters'...elephants close-up twice now and a hippo once.
