South Africa Day 4, Wild Dogs and Elephants

We were so pleased after seeing the wild dogs the night before, we really didn't expect to see them again. Lucky for us, the pack killed an antelope on a road early in the morning. Because we were in the car, the dogs were very relaxed and didn't mind us observing them.

With what was left of the kill.

The dogs were gluttons- look at that big belly! They all were walking around like they were pregnant ;)

On our evening drive, we noticed a herd of elephants walking single file across the road. I thought it was cute and very organized- I knew I liked elephants. Thankfully we had our smart ranger with us who interpreted their movements much better than I- the elephants were headed to a waterhole!

The elephants picked up speed as they neared the waterhole. They were so excited! Lining up single file, they drank their fill before having a little play time :)

The baby elephants were having an absolute bawl, rolling around in the water and getting good and muddy.


This was definitely my favorite part of the week.
