Elephant were everywhere along the river course. Although we would often come across whole herds of them, there were almost always some in view somewhere. One other thing we came across was a stand of date palm trees. Although we saw these here and there, there was an impressive stand of about 26 trees along the West Bank Road. Both elephants and baboons like the dates.
Baboons can climb the trees to get the dates.
In the process, many dates fall to the ground. Elephants will wait for the dates to fall and eat them. Thus, baboons help the elephants get a favorite treat. We returned to camp for a late lunch. After that, there ws a few hours to relax.
