As the day waned, our driver abruptly parked in the middle of a quiet clearing a few dozen meters from the Chobe River. The Baboons who had scurried off upon our arrival soon returned, and resumed their grooming and playing as if we weren't there. Our driver clearly knew what he was doing, and we were treated to a fun little show by the young baboons playing in a large tree. - Suddenly an elephant appeared over the hilltop, walking down the hill toward the river. Then there was another, and then another. Before we knew it, dozens of elephants were in view, all walking toward us. Among them was this mother and her young babe, who came running down the hill toward us. The ground shook with a low rumble as they strolled right past us to the water, seemingly unconcerned by our presence or that of our Land Rover. I noticed later that all the mothers had very carefully kept themselves positioned between us and their babies, never letting their guard down. - #Rumble by #JackSpencer - #LegendOfJackSpencer @LegendOfJackSpencer ©️Jack Spencer LLC - - - - - #ChobeNationalPark #ChobeRiver #Chobe #Kasane #Botswana #nature #conservation #naturephotography #unedited #untouched #noedit #nophotoshopneeded #beautiful #photographer #africa #safari #savetheelephants #majesticcreature #majesticcreatures #majesticanimal #animallovers #majesticanimals #powerful #tusks #saynotoivory #saynotoivorytrade (at Chobe National Park, Botswana) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bv7rhZSg10u/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=j4rhb62pv5x2
