An experience of a lifetime occurred recently for a couple on holiday in Kruger National Park when they looked up from their loungers at their safari lodge and found themselves in the shadows of three very thirsty wild bull elephants.

Filmed by fellow lodgers the man and woman wisely remained stock-still as the foraging elephants enjoyed their drink.
