Operation: Living The Dream
Photo 68 of 88
Part of the safari is washing the elephants in the river. We were really excited about this as we thought it meant that the elephant could relax in the water. Unfortunately this wasn't the case, and she was instructed to stand up, sit down, stand up, blow water, sit down etc. We stayed in the water and asked if she could just relax a while and not have to perform. It was nice to give her a bath. They have very wiry hair all over their bodies which is very itchy against your legs! They also close the end of their trunk over so they don't get water up their nose! It's very cute. Apart from freaking out that we would get typhoid (everything goes in this river), it was a very special moment.
