African Elephant

Kaingo Camp has an elephant blind setup in a tree overlooking an elephant crossing on the Luangwa River. Many of these shots were taken from that blind. Often bull elephants would come into camp to eat the winter thorn fruit. While this happened at Kaingo Camp a few times, it was a daily occurrence at Old Mondoro on the Zambezi River.
