A massive post for my fellow elephant lovers. Can you believe I still edited a lot of photos out? They are just such amazing animals. We were fortunate to see them bathing in the river at the elephant orphanage. They've all been rescued from different situations in the wild. 
It is incredible how close we got to them. I must admit, a little scary. 
Only a few weeks old.
This one was only 5 days old. Have you ever seen anything so cute? It was bopping around in the water because it couldn't reach the bottom.
'Teens' at play under the watchful eye of the mahout.
Having a little scratch in the sunshine.
This one's leg was damaged in landmines in the North during the recent wars.
Time to head back to the camp with the herd.
It's not easy being 5 days old...
This one's leg was damaged in landmines in the North during the recent wars. Time to head back to the camp with the herd. It's not easy being 5 days old... This is Atlas, a young male elephant with the mahout. We were having lunch and he thought he'd join us!
