Asso Elephant National Park, in South Africa, isn't probably the nicest African parks in regard to landscape, but it certainly is one of the best to spot elephants. In 1931 when the park was created there were only 11 elephants living in the area. Today over 350 Elephants live in the 309 000 acre park.
Addo it´s also famous for his flightless dung beetle and it's also great to spot black-backed jackal and many more.

Thanks for watching and commenting.

nice light, from the angle it is shot at it looks like the elephant is in the trees.

Nicely done, the angle of the light really shows off the texture of the trunk. The low perspective makes ele look even bigger.. Thanks for sharing..
