ele charge, Mana Pools, Zimbabwe, September 2001




This photo was taken by Africa Girl Sqrly & that is my elbow in the corner of the photo. Sure its easy to hide behind me to take good pictures. My pictures of the elephant came out blurry, I think I was shaking too much!
We had just had a roaring encounter with a male lion before the ele came at us.
Our guide Pat had a big gun & a persuasive way with wildlife so we made it back to the camp for breakfast. Pat did not use the gun on the ele, it was just for show. The hippos & crocodiles in the Zambezi river were more of a worry while we were canoeing.
