We had a great breakfast and said goodbye to our friends at the Milbury. We made a couple of stops then headed off to the Addo Elephant park. We drove through the southern section and didn't see a lot. There were some Zebra and Warthogs and we saw 2 Bull elephants at a water hole. We did see some Hartebeest through the binoculars on a distant ridge. We decided to drive through the northern section instead of heading back and take another route around to get back to the N2. We noticed a large section in the northern half was paved so it should allow us to go faster and make up some time. before heading on that section we decide an a small diversion to a water hole and was glad we did as we come across about 150 elephants at a couple of large watering holes. We saw some playing in the water and a couple of bulls at words with each other and there were a couple of females that were upset with each other and there antics spilled over into the parking lot and they ended up with at parked car between them as they were challenging each other. We were wondering what the people in the car were thinking at that moment. It was an amazing experience.
We discovered the Warthogs scoot along on their front knees in order to get their muzzle closer to the ground
Cape Buffalo about 10 yards from the road, rare find
Very large herd
There were many babies in the herd
Two teenagers locking tusks while playing in the water
This guy really loved playing in the water
