The elephants’ behaviour changes accordingly. The elephants are attracted to the areas where the rains arrive first, where new nutritious green grasses grow. Suddenly, these gentle giants become more social, gathering in huge groups formed by many different breeding herds and bulls in search of females in oestrus. These groups can reach up to 200-300 individuals, all moving together, slowly and completely focused on grazing the new grass. They mainly move with the rain and the availability of large quantities of palatable grass species. Obviously, drinking spots become a big confluence in the stretches of rivers closest to where the feeding occurs. In this green and lush time of year, it seems like the elephants have taken over and are now the owners of Ruaha. #wonderlust #worldtour #abakombetours #travelnut #familytravel #grouptravel #tailormadetravel #solotraveler #likeforlikes #lifetimetraveller #lifeSentence #lifesituation #luxurytravel (at Great Ruaha River) https://www.instagram.com/p/BvSDPhZgDgE/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1epygo6uncmoa
