10,000 Birds

A little further, there’s a family group of Savannah Elephants with two two-year olds. They raise their trunks, sniffing the air. We are nearing the waterhole, and see the large oval shadow in the darkness: that White Rhino cow with a calf. Nowadays, the Savannah Elephants are shorter and with smaller tusks, often without them.

The first time I visited the 30 acre enclosure, I walked the raised boardwalk over the space with eyes wide. Just beyond a fence, a pair of rhino adults and one baby munched contentedly on hay. On large islands shaded with multiple trees, a family of orangutans and another of gorillas lounged in the green grass.
