Elephants in the Wetlands

This morning we had a sleep in and then packed the car. When we drove out of the gate, there were elephants in the wetlands. We stopped to watch them eating, drinking, playing and swimming.

As we left the wetlands we came across four elephants on the road. Two of them were mating while the other two were walking around. Maybe they were waiting their turn or just liked to watch? We had to wait for them to finish and move off the road. It was then off to Johannesburg for our leave.
