Wild elephants
On this morning’s safari, we ran into a herd of elephants. We didn’t know where they were there so we tracked them until it was time for a hot chocolate. To track an elephant you look for uprooted trees, fresh poo, footprints and the way the grass is bent. We got to a safe place and we were allowed out of the safari car. Once we stretched our legs and drank our drink we went back to find and watch the elephants. There were baby elephants that always played around but were guarded by two massive male elephants and they always looked behind for trouble until they had a little snack on a tree.
When it was time to go back to the lodge, we passed another safari car so we told them where to find the elephants. After that safari trip, Max and I [not with our mum and dad] went on a small trip for kids with our ranger Morris and our tracker Lewis. We learnt about how important the environment for the animals is. We had to stick giraffe poo in our mouth and spit it out to see who got the longest distance. We are lucky its only grass. We also found out about how to identify animals by its footprints and poo. Morris showed us how to find poisonous trees and non-poisonous trees.
