I saw this in Nakuru park where tourists would drive right up to the water buffalo and get out of their cars despite all kinds of signage telling them not to do such things. I imagine that many tourists cannot read (translate) the signs but surely they must have some idea of the dangers of wild animals, or one would think they do. <br /><br />How great that you found a 2GB card and that it worked. I often wonder who if anyone found a 4 GB card I lost in Kenya near a lake and I miss the photos I had on there! My own clumsiness I'm afraid.Joyfulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09956413632864588646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3772078074457885561.post-71850180227714860252012-09-03T06:14:49.295+02:002012-09-03T06:14:49.295+02:00You are so funny to catch the picture of the touri...You are so funny to catch the picture of the tourists scrambling :) I wonder if the driver is the same one in the other elephant story.<br /><br />The pictures are truly wonderful.
