This herd of elephants wandered within arms reach of our safari truck. Fortunately we’d already visited Knysna Elephant Park where we were allowed to feed and pet these unusually large animals. Had we not, it would have been almost too hard to resist not tickling one behind the ear (which by the way is very soft!).
