a Chobe River safari brought me to this wonderful moment:

It was so amazing to watch the elephants cross the river.

Here's a peek:

The most breath taking part?  The way they help each other cross.

The elephants linked their trunks to tails and at times rested on the other elephants.

How beautiful are they?

Living in southern Africa has reaffirmed my love of elephants.  There really is no animal like them.
