Majestic Elephant

by Cheryl Grace

In 2021, as the world began to slowly open from the COVID Pandemic shutdown, I traveled to Mashatu Private Game Reserve in Botswana, Africa in August. This resort has a “Hide”, which is an underground, hidden bunker for photographers in front of a waterhole. This waterhole is fed by fresh water through a man made system, which is a favorite for all wildlife. You may sit for hours and not see any wildlife. But patience paid off to see this magnificent male elephant under a cloudy sky.
