Different herds of young elephants play in South Africa

These stunning pictures show a group of young elephants delighting safari-goers with a huge pile-on by the side of a waterhole.

Family herds of elephants were meeting up at the Shindzela Tented Camp in Greater Kruger, South Africa, when the youngsters got together to play.

As amazed tourists watched on the older elephants lay down on the ground and let the younger animals climb on their backs and push playfully at them with their feet.

They certainly did make me smile. Elephants are amazing creatures. If you ever get the chance, read a copy of ‘When Elephants Weep’ by Jeffrey Masson. It gives a truly wonderful insight into these intelligent, loving beings.
