The Elephant families you often meet in the safaris they might look similar but if you pay the attention these incredible animals deserve, you can share with them some really pleasant moments. In this last Safari we have experienced new episodes never lived before with them.
We were in Tarangire (Tanzania), a fantastic destination if you want to enjoy hundreds of birds and the biggest and most beautiful Baobabs I´ve ever seen, without forgetting the rest of the animals.
We were walking through the Park, when we met a small Elephant family by the road. There were some mums with their young ones. Their skin was red as they had been sand bathing and they were resting calmly next to a Baobab, except one of the mums who was left behind with her two babies. The older baby was so tired that he lied down next to her mum´s legs while the younger one, kept playing pushing his brother with its trunk. He tried several times, but as he saw he wasn´t getting any attention he finally decided to accompany his brother leaning his head over his brother´s back. Their mother remained still and patiently next them all the time, while the babies were taking a happy nap, feeling completely safe with her.
It was a real pleasure to look at them because of the peace they transmitted and that´s why it was very difficult for us to say good-bye. We remained for a few more minutes, and we started to move away slowly, taking care not to interrupt them in their peaceful break.
Be quiet or you will wake them up!!!
