Serengeti Sunrise



An early start so as to get some good wildlife watching in, starting at dawn. Had a slightly alarming meeting with an angry elephant, who didn't take a liking to our vehicles and for a while looked as if he was thinking about charging us or at least flipping us over. Our guide helpfully revved the engine and edged closer, then switched off. The poor thing was clearly quite distressed and it really seemed unkind to be there. As well as moderately unsafe. Eventually we persuaded our guide to back off a bit and the elephant moved away. Kind of helps you realise how big these guys are.
