The touch of an elephant,

The elephants…..this has been what I have looked forward to the most. The first time I walked into the park at 5.30pm to meet the guides…all new faces who soon will be like my family for the next 4 weeks, then to have the trunk of an elephant touch my hand, I stand in front of 10elephants who light up my face. I was speechless, walking with the elephants for the first time as the sun set, into the boma. It was hard to talk as i watched them for a while not wanting to leave.Seeing the elephants at the game reserve previous to this that’s where I will always remember my first encounter with an ellie but hear it is to become something special.
