Elephant Smelling the Air

On the last morning drive of the trip, we saw a black rhino mother and calf, a pride of lions with cubs, a herd of buffalos and finally a herd of elephants, all within 30 minutes of each other. Not bad. This elephant started smelling the air as we had stopped the car quite close and she was trying to figure out what we were.
