Elephant Camp, Safari and Wild Life Trekking

The elephant being fed is named John. He was a bad boy as the guide informed me. On the table you can see his snack. He is a 15 year old tuskea elephant. These tuskea elephants are trained to capture wild elephants who have become a nuisance or have been killing people. The guide told us that one wild elephant had killed 23 people over 3 years so they took 6 of the tuskea elephants and captured it instead of killing it. they were able to bring it to the camp and after 4 years of training it is calm enough for children to pet. There are also spotted deer and a termite hill plant.
