African Siesta

This morning we did something a little bit different. Rather than heading our at 6A for your standard 3 hour morning drive, we packed a lunch and left at 7A for what ended up being about 7 hours so that we could get all the way to the far side of the preserve to find the large family of elephants hanging out over there.
Stellar weather again. Lots of sightings along the way including a nursing rhino with the most pathetic little cry for such a big baby. Hopefully I got some video of it before my battery died.
Meanwhile, we found the elephants who were also quite obliging and walked across/along the road with us. And one stopped right beside us (well as close as you'd want an elephant beside you) to uncover some tuber root, break it in two with his foot and then only eat half of it so I suppose it wasn't that tasty after all.
Lovely light lunch out on the planes and then passed these two rhinos getting a bit of rest on our way back to do just the same.
