8.30am 22nd May 2009 If you were visiting Victoria Falls today and were hoping to start your African adventure by seeing some wildlife, you wouldn't have had far to travel. This herd of five Bull African Elephants (Loxodonta Africana) ambled into town early this morning. In typical behaviour they seemed to be in no rush at all and merely went about their daily business.... Eating. Barely concerned by the humans around. This is not a common occurrence, but Victoria Falls town is surrounded by real African wilderness and wild animals do abound. On occasions they think nothing of wandering through the town centre. These photographs were taken by Charles Brightman from Discover Safaris you can see the Craft Village in the background. Charles is also the driving force behind Victoria Falls Anti Poaching Unit (VAPU) a vitally important organisation set up to protect the wildlife in and around Victoria Falls from rampant poaching.
