The sun was beginning to set at the Hwange National Park. In the horizon, has the sun started to kiss the plains pink, the African dirt started to life into a billowing cloud. Before my eyes, hundreds ans hundreds of elephants made their way through the plains and down to the watering hole. Baby elephants leaped with joy as their mothers guided their steps to the water. In an orderly fashion, the elephants paitently waited for their turn. It was one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever whitnessed.
