Today the elephants kept us busy. Just after lunch seven males arrived in the garden. One was my old friend Skew Tusk with maybe the two or three friends he sometimes travels with. One was collared. 
They moved slowly through the property happily eating and at about 4.30pm they came back; drank from the river and a few of them were mock fighting. 
Four moved off but three hung out here until after seven, delaying the start of our braai. They came very close to the house looking for any green leaves to eat but they were gentle and well behaved; leaving the water tank alone and not breaking any fences. 
I really love it when they come to the house. I am going to miss this place so much. Ximongwe, how will I be able to leave here? In just 10 days we are packing up for a jaunt in the caravan to Kruger and beyond. (But we will be back for a bit later in October.)
