On one of our game views, we had the most amazing experience in seeing something happening only once a year. The elephants crossed the river to better grazing. It was an incredible sight to see where these huge animals who cannot swim, gets accross the river. The little one's they keep in the middle , almost carrying them accross. Gilbert told us that the elephants cannot really swim, they go down and "jump" up again, and you only see the trunks coming up for air! What was beautiful to me was when they got to the other end, the bigger ones would wait till the babies are safe on dry land, helping them with the trunks and loud noises. Also the older ones are helped and waited for, and no one leaves without all the members being there. I think we can learn a lot from animals . From caring for each other, disciplining the children, and caring for the elders.
