There's a very sad thread in the Africa Forum on the subject of poaching.

FT rules prevent me from expressing my feelings.

I have now updated the first part of the safari report to lunchtime on day 2.

Apologies for the delay in posting, but real life has somewhat got in the way!

I have now added in the latest piece of the report, our final full day at Jamala Madikwe, as well as a time-lapse of approximately 40 elephants at the watering hole and a video summarising day 2 on safari.

I found the time-lapse elephant video quite fascinating. I'm guessing that was the Alpha-Female/Matriarch checking things out before the rest of the herd joined, and that she stayed until last to ensure everyone had left safely. Whatever the case, it was VERY interesting behaviour by a very intelligent species.
