Yesterday afternoon we were lucky enough to join the warden of Olifants West Game Reserve and his team of staff and students on an afternoon’s elephant survey. Following radio leads from other rangers out and about we came across a breeding herd of cows and calves and were able to see first-hand the monitoring that goes on with photographs of any identifying features recorded (e.g. large tear in the right ear of this young cow).
On the way back to camp we also caught up with 9 youngsters from the York lion pride, lounging in a dry river bed.
