Elephants in Victoria Falls Town Centre
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.
What Were They Doing?
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.
How Often Do We Get
Elephants in Victoria Falls Town Centre?
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.
Pictures of This Rare
Occasion
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.
