        Hi Dries,

        It’s not supposed to be some sort of secret that it was 2 different cars!
        There were 2 cars as she did write in her articles.

        The first one the elephant just lifted and then he disappeared into the bush.
        Then the second car thought he could pass and as he did the elephant returned and toppled him over.

        As for the location, it was the exact same place.

        I truly hope you don’t think we were trying to lie.

        Thanks

      I Enjoy Honest reporting.

      That someones car was gouged and turned over by an Elephant is news enough. To get some pics also great. Some insight to how and why it happened could add spice.

      Vasti, I don’t get it, those first few shots in this series add doubt and are totally unnecessary. Apart from the fact that the cars are not the same, the location difference is also clear.

      Don’t give up, it is a huge blessing to be based in the Kruger Park.

      Polish your posts with truth and honesty.

      I look forward to some more exciting pics and stories from you and others for us based in the city.
