This mature bull elephant was standing on the banks of the Zambezi River upstream from Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe when I encountered him. It was almost sunset; I was with friends on a boat and we had been watching a small pod of hippo slowly emerging from the water for their night time foraging. He was resting beneath a huge Natal Mahogany and the deep shade of the tree made it difficult to see him at first. We switched off the engine of the boat and drifted silently towards him; unaware of our presence, he stepped out of the shadows towards the riverbank and the setting sun suddenly illuminated him.
