A swimming parade of elephants...in Botswana!

While in the beautiful Chobe National Park in Botswana,

a Chobe River safari brought me to this wonderful moment:

A small herd of elephants crossing the Chobe River.

It was so amazing to watch the elephants cross the river.

Here's a peek:

The most breath taking part?  The way they help each other cross.

Part two of the crossing:

The elephants linked their trunks to tails and at times rested on the other elephants.

How beautiful are they?

Here they are coming out of the river:

Living in southern Africa has reaffirmed my love of elephants.  There really is no animal like them.
