This week’s picture comes from Laluka Safari Lodge in Limpopo where the elephant was spotted on a game drive.

“A couple of days ago we bumped into this gentle giant, and there is nothing more satisfying that to be able to observe him in his natural environment,” read the caption as the image was shared on Instagram.
