We were sitting in a hide in the morning, were surrounded by a number of elephants who were drinking and playing around in the waterhole. At some point, two new bulls arrived and the greeting ceremony that subsequently happened between them was impressive and so touching. The newcomers ran towards the others. Then they stood together—very close together—touching each other with their trunks. I cannot be sure, but it certainly looked like they were very happy to meet again. Maybe they hadn’t seen each other for some time? Who knows…
