On one of my many adventures in the breathtaking Kruger National Park, I witnessed an unforgettable moment in the wild. Two of the Big Five, elephants and rhinos, shared a rare encounter at a peaceful waterhole.

The scene began with the rhinos lounging calmly under a tree, enjoying the shade near the dam. But the tranquility didn’t last long as a family of elephants walked straight toward the water, seemingly unaware of the rhinos’ presence. When the elephants finally noticed them just a few meters away, their reaction was priceless.

Listen closely to the incredible sounds the elephants make—it’s a true display of nature’s raw beauty and unpredictability. Moments like this are why I love exploring the wild.
