At Rekero Camp, elephants wandered through the camp every night and one stopped to eat the leaves on a bush next to my tent. Now, it’s a bit scary to wake up and hear something very large munching on the other side of the canvas. I nervously slid out of bed and looked through the opening of my tent. There was a beautiful big elephant happily destroying all the bushes just outside. There was a full moon so his large tusks almost glowed in the night. I felt safe and privileged to be next to this magnificent animal.
