Every culture on earth has stories about mischievous creatures which go by many names, Gremlins, Pixies or Mimi spirits. However I have discovered the true mischievous creatures of the world, and they are called ‘elephants’! Why do elephants push over trees – because they can! Why do elephants push over trees on the road – because they enjoy watching the Anti Poaching Rangers cut them up with blunt pangas (machetes). Why do elephants walk on the roads – so that Anti Poaching Rangers can take the longest route available to avoid them. What do elephants do when you want to drive past them, they chase you. I think you get the picture. Four out of our last five journeys have been turned around by having the road blocked by elephants.
