During our trip with Mom and Dad Powell through the Caprivi and in Botswana, we often had to stop for elephants. Here is a video of a big group of bulls crossing the road in Botswana, south of Kasane.
In the video, Kelly mentions that the tusks are larger than the elephants we'd seen in Etosha. The reason is because Etosha elephants lack certain minerals that make their tusks softer. As the Etosha elephants use their tusks, the tusks wear down faster than the tusks of elephants in Botswana.
The video also shows the potential dangers of driving in Africa. Down the road a piece, we saw an elephant road-kill. See the Picasa album for that photo.
