When this boytjie matures a bit more he will be a really impressive bull. Not that he isn't already. He's only problem is that he is an Addo bull so he will never have the huge tusks that the Kruger bulls have.
A herd of elephants taking it easy after drinking at the Hapoor Waterhole in the Addo Elephant National Park
There are some truly awesome game reserves around Port Elizabeth ranging from the epic Addo Elephant National Park to excellent private game reserves with top class lodges. Playing right in that space is Lalibela Game Reserve between Port Elizabeth and Grahamstown. Lalibela is home to the Big 5 as well as other predators like cheetah, hyena, jackal & lynx on 7500 hectares with visitors staying in one of three excellent lodges. I spent a night with the Damselfly in late…
A breeding herd (or family group) of elephants led by the matriarch on their way to the Hapoor Waterhole in the Addo Elephant National Park

Watching elephants doesn't always have to be done from a back of a game viewing vehicle or your own car.

Thor, the first white lion to be born at Seaview Predator Park, taking an afternoon nap. He had absolutely no interest in the paparazzi on this side of the fence.
Being tall isn't always that easy. Sometimes those long legs need a rest as well. You won't easily see giraffes sitting down where there are lions in the area. That's because they are all legs when they get up and can easily be taken off guard. Luckily for this one she lives in the Seaview Preditor Park and the lions here are in seperate enclosures.
