Footage of the herd shows the distressed youngster crying out as the adult elephant reaches down with her trunk to pull and push it onto dry land.
Richard Leonard shot the video while at Addo Elephant Park on a family holiday earlier this month, The Telegraph reported.
“It was my first game drive of the trip and it was a wildlife encounter of a lifetime,” he said.
“I was so relieved to see the little one safe and sound.”
