Elephant
Every visitor to the African bush wants to see an elephant (Loxodonta Africana). Alongside their intelligence, intense social ties, vulnerability to emotion and phenomenal memory, they are physically extraordinary too.
I must confess, I have always had a soft spot for elephants. They occupy a special place in my heart.
I have always appreciated the relative ease with which you can encounter the relaxed breeding herds in Africa.
Spending time in the presence of elephants is a tremendous privilege which can leave you either trembling with sheer excitement and fear, or moved by their apparent deep understanding of others, or just amazed by the sounds they make, from subsonic grumblings to ear-piercing shrieking.
