Elephant Hunt



This video was taken the Monday after Easter. We were invited up to a farm north of us to which have elephants and all kids of other animals. They told us that it is never easy to find the elephants, and when you do, most of the time you only see them from a distance.

Well we did find some fresh tracks and started to follow them. We followed the tracks and hunted for the elephants for an hour. We were getting ready to just leave and head for lunch when we stumbled across them. It was a family of around 8 or more with 4 babies. The mother was not very happy that we were around. Before I started taking the video she charged at us hard. She chased us for around 10 minutes before we left them alone and listened to her warning to leave. It was a great experience though to be so close to them in the wild.
