Majestic and Wonderful Beasts

Had to share this photo! Two elephants greeting each other on the shores of the Shire River in Malawi. Such an awesome thing to see. We came upon this herd of 50 elephants one morning and stayed for a long time just to watch and ohh and awe! over the whole experience. Saw the young males in the group swimming and playing in the water, others spraying mud over themselves, while the mothers coaxed their young into the water to cool down. So beautiful. Nice to see these majestic creatures in their natural habitat safe from nasty poachers.
