Addo Elephant National Park

Riley and his dad's first full day in South Africa was a Sunday. Since, they did not want to hunt on a Sunday, they went to a national park instead. Their guide picked them up from their hotel and brought them to this park where they spent the day. They saw several different kinds of animals. Although this is a protected park, Riley said that they saw more animals while out hunting than in the park.
One thing that they were only able to see in the park was elephants. Riley was amazed at how big they are in real life!

Three warthogs showed up at the elephants watering hole, and this baby elephant chased them off! He is a brave little guy and came trotting back to the herd looking very proud of himself.

Riley was able to get some great close-up shots of the elephants.
