African Elephant of dusk and magic dustTuli GR Botswana ; An elephant bull having a dust bath at dusk in Tuli Game Reserve in Botswana. We were on foot enjoying the sunset at the dam when this ele strolled in to drink and bathe. Settling behind a rock we sat and observed him for 15min while he had fun. The sun's rays lit the dust as it got thrown up in the air creating a stunning arc of glowing sand!
