Field Recording: Elephants Drinking Next To Us

Into the Okavango

August 25 2015, 1:06 PM. Chief's Island, Okavango Delta. Such massive animals, who can be so thunderous when they find the need, can also be so incredibly quiet. This group approached us and drank from the channel just a few meters away, leaving us in awe.
