Into The Bush

Despite being massive, elephants move surprisingly silently.

And they’re incredibly good at vanishing in bush you could have sworn wasn’t tall enough to hide a full-grown elephant.

But suddenly they’re gone, padding off into the bush.

Elephant Herd at the Watering Hole – Addo Elephants

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

Image by Matthew Bietz
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!

Red Hartebeest (Alcelaphus caama syn: Alcelaphus buselaphus caama) on Hapoor Loop in Addo Elephant National Park, Eastern Cape, South Africa. Photographed on 20 June 2012.

There is some confusion as to whether this is a true species or a subspecies in the Alcelaphus buselaphus complex. I have followed what EOL have appeared to accept at this stage.

Addo isn’t actually overrun with kudu, but it is overpopulated, according to one of the rangers.

I can believe it – we saw so many of these things we didn’t even slow down to look anymore.

In fact, we started talking about YAKs – Yet Another Kudu…
