Obnoxious elephant and baby lions

 
 
 
 After not seeing but one elephant, we suddenly came upon this one and a friend on the road. The friend nicely moved on but this one did not want to move. We kept getting closer but it wouldn't move. Finally it turned to go down the road and then suddenly turned to face us. We were all so startled that we jumped down in the van. Only one person had the sense to make a picture of it as it started to charge at us. Mussa, our driver, stomped the accelerator and after a while, the elephant turned around and started down the road again. We were beginning to give up on seeing any lions. As we drove away from the river, Wes spotted this mother lion and three assorted sized babies. They did not seem to mind all the cars that surrounded them very quickly.
