Addo National Elephant Park

Addo National Elephant Park is home to numerous indigenous species, including this Kudu.

True to the park's name we were privileged to meet this young elephant male wandering on it own. He began by crossing the road and then decided to lead us down the steep hill. Although we were in a bus, we were able to get very close to this guy. 
 

Shortly after this we ventured upon a herd of over 40 elephants along the side of a hill. Each of those grey/brown mounds is an African elephant enjoying the local vegetation.  Because we were some distance away, we were afforded a glimpse into elephant interactions as a herd. The dominant  bull stood high above the herd with a watchful eye.
