Ellies and Lions

Today was amazingly eventful... the Addo elephants didn't disappoint, so fabulous to watch them, lots of game and birds at Harpoor too which was so fascinating we could have stayed there all day, but thankfully we didn't as there was a big surprise around the corner... mommy lion and her 4 cubs took an eager interest in our car as they strolled by... a bit of a heart stopping moment. But all so playful and cute with mom chasing them up from behind.
More amazing memories to add to our trip.
