This is a family group. The elephants I saw usually travelled
in small family
groups like this. Bulls would often travel alone, or attach themselves
to a female.
Occassionally the groups would be quite large. It was hard to
get too close
to a group like this, because the females were protective of their
young.
The bulls were often approachable, if they were use to people; that
usually meant
they were from Mana Pools, where there's no hunting. Areas around
the park allow hunting
and elephants from those areas would often be very skittish when they
caught our scent.
