When you least expect it, the most marvelous things happen. After our disappointing Sunset Jeep Safari, we gathered around the campfire to enjoy a cool beer. Within minutes a young South African started to annoy us big time, by hollering at the top of his voice when speaking to the people sitting around the fire.

What finally shut him up was a young elephant that suddenly appeared in the camp. Cool as an icicle, he plucked leaves from the bush next to our tent and did not seem to be bothered by the fire nor us. We all froze, expecting the elephant mother to storm at us within seconds. With no angry mama nearby, we got a bit daring. The little adorable elephant was not even bothered when we got REALLY close.

One of those life time experiences!
