Note the warthog kill to the right of some of the pictures of the lions. Notice the buffalo herd guarding the young buffalo (young buffalo with gold/brown coat and short horns). And what about the young elephant reaching for the water. Then, shiver when you look at the buffalo bull? Scary close.
Going to Addo is a great experience. How lucky we are to have Addo so close to Port Elizabeth

Our friends continue to send us pictures from Kruger, where they are visiting at the moment. The opening star is the Impala Lily. Isn’t that colour splendid? Next follow 7 pictures of animal stars. Who says you don’t see lions close up?
Please scroll down. Thank you T&D for the pictures.
Addo Elephant Park outside Port Elizabeth, South Africa.
Addo National Park, Port Elizabeth, South Africa. See video below.
The African bush in the Addo Elephant Park in South Africa, suddenly became silent. It was the silence of expectation. It was the silence of respect. The elephant family was waiting, tenderly surrounding one of its female elephants. The gift of new life was coming. And then it happened. A baby elephant was born. Let all the African Bush trumpet with joy!
There are 2 pictures. Please scroll down. Thank you.
How privileged we humans are. We did not see the actual birth but we did see the family cherishing and protecting the new born. The first picture shows the family protecting the baby. But where is the baby elephant? Look to the right of the young elephant. The tiny elephant could not walk properly and was still pink in places.
The last picture is of the baby staying close to what can only be its mother.
Words cannot describe how grateful we are to have been close to such a joyful occasion in the glory of life,
To God be the Glory
Thanks to our two good friends who made this viewing possible.
