A little further, there’s a family group of Savannah Elephants with two two-year olds. This game reserve has 900 elephants – the second largest population in South Africa, after the Kruger National Park with 13,000. Nowadays, the Savannah Elephants are shorter and with smaller tusks, often without them.

A Barn Owl slept peacefully on the inside of the roof of a well-visited tourist cafe. It warned me not to order the latte though – overpriced and not very good, according to the owl. For some reason, the largest member of the heron family is not called the Great Heron nor the Giant Heron but rather the Goliath Heron.
