Today we finally made it into the parks boundaries. This was my first chance to observe the elephants up close, in broad daylight. We would pull the rover to the side of the path and the elephants would go about their business as if we werent even there. I indentified and recorded three adults, one is missing the tip of his trunk, most likely from an unfortunate run in with a farmer.Whenever the start the truck back up the males(bull elephants) always make a false charge at the vehicle. Its quite the rush everytime. The ride home
