One of the things I enjoy most of wildlife photography, is to watch baby elephants play and interact with one another. The very young also look as if they don't know yet what to do with their little trunks. Tarangire National Park, Tanzania

Desert elephants of Namibia

Below are four photos of the socalled desert elephants. They look just like the normal African elephant and the only reason why they are called desert elephants, is because they have adapted very well to very dry desert conditions. I have been on two trips to Damaraland, without seeing these elephants at all. Fortunately we found a few on a 4x4 trip to the Kaokoland, in northern Namibia.

It looks as if these two elephants were fighting, but it wasn't a serious fight at all. We couldn't spend much time with them and I am still not sure if it was an older bul and a young bull or if it was a bul and a cow and if they were just playing.
