One of the advantages of living in Gqeberha (Port Elizabeth) is that it is just 40 minutes’ drive from our front door to the gate of Addo. We decided to do a day trip and picnic at Addo.
We spent more than an hour watching the elephants at Marion Baree Waterhole. One group was standing in and around the waterhole, with another group some distance away and a few lone elephants occasionally arriving and others departing.
There was constant interaction between the elephants around, with a few playful tussles.
One tussle appeared to be a little more serious, with one elephant appearing to be trying to prevent another one from getting to the water.
Some warthogs also tried to get to the water, but kept getting chased by the one of the elephants…
…who then also got chased by a new arrival
On our way home, a lone elephant to see us off
