Beautiful sunshine and a sparkling pool provided the setting for the next few days ...

Once you are 2 meters away you just turn of the engine and enjoy. The elephants are used to cars slowly passing by so you rarely hear about problems but if they start to flex their ears you know you might be in trouble. We had a great few hours watching a mixture of adorable youngsters and ...
