Elephant & Elephant Holidays
Everyone can recognise an elephant, although many do not realise that there are three species: Asian, African savannah and African forest. The African savannah elephant is probably the most familiar, with its large ears and long curving tusks. Although bull elephants spend a lot of time alone, they regularly meet up and renew their friendships, one of their favourite meeting places being around water holes.
Elephants are famous for their good memories, which are a key feature in helping them to survive the variable, and often harsh, climate of the African plains.
Elephants are very social animals. Family relationships between herd members are very strong, with females staying in their mothers' herd all of their lives. When males are around 6-7 years old, they will leave the herd and form small groups of their own.
Family groups of females also keep in touch with neighbouring families, to whom they are often related, and may join up to search for food and water in times of hardship. The matriarch is particularly important when food and water are scarce.
