I don’t have photos from the 1980s when we went on a walking safari in the Okavango. The dugouts dropped us on the largest island of the delta and the accompanying ranger looked for elephants. He soon found a small herd and we crept closer, keeping upwind. We were possibly 300 metres away from them when they noticed us. They started to move away and the ranger shouted: “Up and at them!”. We all started racing towards the fleeing elephants who picked up speed. While doing that the only thing I could think was: “What am I doing? What if they turn round and start chasing ME?!”
They never did, luckily. They were just faster than us and soon disappeared from those pesky, insignificant humans.

What DID we do when we didn’t have cameras at all times to seize the moment?

He knew what he was doing. He knew the elephants would retreat. I think he paid them.

He must have let them know there were hashers in the group 😂

It was quite a few years before we started hashing… but most hashers think they are born that way, some just need longer time to discover their true identity.
