Description: For elephants, their motto might be, Take me to the river or any other body of water And when they get there it can be drinkin time, party time, or both, but its always a good time for the observer. I put together some highlights from my years of watching elephants in the water in this little Elephant Baptism video.

A canoe trip in Botswana surrounded by elephants who’ve come to the river for their afternoon drink. I’m with National Geographic filmmakers Dereck & Beverly Joubert & while we expected to see a few elephants, we never imagined so many would show up, ignore us, and come into the river with us. A magical afternoon at Selinda Explorers Camp.
