The only one we saw

as they were all too far away.

I was not happy with our ranger as she did not want to go to where the others including the giraffes were. She said she would be cutting off their route which I thought was rather silly.

In fact she was a pretty poor game ranger and not really interested in showing us much.

Such a shame you didn't get the expected experience. Glad you saw an elephant though

[Babs]

What a shame especially when you were trying to get photos too

[Suzanne]

Oh dear! This elephant seems a bit shy!

[John Falconer]

And this one is hiding behind the bushes.

[Issi Bannerman]

Such beautiful beasts. You got a lovely shot of this one though.

[Wendy Stout]

Magnificent creatures… glad you got a nice picture of this one though

[Beryl Lloyd]

Wonderful capture !

[Susan Wakely]

Lovely that you got to see one but obviously not your best experience.

[winghong_ho]

A great capture.

[Peter]

Still you did get the chance to capture this lovely animal it’s a great image Diana:)

[Mags]

Wonderful capture!

[katy]

How disappointing for you to have traveled so far and not get a good Ranger. In spite of that you got an excellent photo of this elephant.

[Christine Sztukowski]

Fabulous close-up

[Bucktree]

Glad you were able to at least get this capture. The elephants and giraffes are my favorite large animals.

[mittens (Marilyn)]

Excellent capture and I'm glad you got to see one.

[Merrelyn]

How disappointing for you.

[Milanie]

Sounds disappointing but you did take advantage of your one sighting

[Corinne C]

Playing hide-and-seek! still a great photograph!

[Michelle]

That's a shame, but lovely capture of this ellie!

[Olwynne]

What a privilege to see wildlife up close and in their natural habitat

[Renee Salamon]

What a shame she spoilt what should be so special

[Carole Sandford]

That’s a shame! Nice to see the elephant in the wild though.

[Rob Z]

That is disappointing but I guess that's the chance you take in a wild-life reserve.

[Walks @ 7]

What gift to see such a magnificent creature.

[Beverley]

I love elephants, I’m sooo happy to see this photo.
Feed back is important - you should put a positive & truthful narrative for the owners.

[Heather]

A great shot all the same, Diana! Wonderful light and textures on its hide! A beautiful overall scene! Fav

[LManning (Laura)]

Too bad that you did not get the experience you hoped for. It’s still a great shot and I would be thrilled to see even part of an elephant!

[Rick]

Just wish it would have stayed in the clearing. Great shot.

[Diana]

It must have been an amazing experience

[Steve Chappell]

Nicely spotted and shot, too bad the ranger didn't want to go where the animals were, though
