Day 22: Elephant Walk Oct 28

“It’s time to saddle up but it ain’t no Arizona dude ranch and this ain’t no pony ride”.

Then, you just have to hang on because it’s a wobbly ride. Taking photographs was challenging with the natural swaying motion from side to side and an occasional detour off the path for an elephant snack.

I’m going to let you enjoy the view as we trek through the jungle.
