Elephant Herd at the Watering Hole

Elephant Herd at the Watering Hole | Addo Elephants – Find Addo Accommodation.

It had been quite rainy in the weeks before we visited the park. As a result, the vegetation was green and lush, there were lots of exposed watering holes, and the animals were pretty active. As we pulled up to a watering hole near the road from one direction, a herd of female elephants with their babies approached from the other. They spent quite a bit of time drinking and playing in the water just a few feet from us. The babies were obviously learning how to use their trunks to drink by mimicking their mothers. We were amazingly lucky to see this!

This was a tourist attraction near the Addo Elephant Reserve, although not affiliated with the sanctuary. These elephants roam free on the property most of the time, except when they are rounded up 3-4 times a day to carry foreigners like us around, very similar to trail rides on horses. We were told that as adolescents they were relocated to this park from a refuge in Zimbabwe to alleviate overcrowding. The guides who controlled and steered the elephants were all Zimbabwean, too. Riding one is a crazy experience because they’re so impossibly big, agile, and smart.

Since we were too busy panicking to take photos, Meghan recreated this exciting safari moment with pen and paper:

Elephant: Grrr.
me: Drive!
Christa: oh SHIT!
Meghan: Time to go!
Carrie: I’m going to die!
Maureen: GO!
Anna: Fuckin for REAL!
