World Elephant Day
There are accounts of elders reporting hundreds of elephants visiting the bais. Big groups gathered around the large open areas along the rivers and streams. But after being hunted heavily for decades they became very shy. Today, there are less than 2% of the original population left and it is extremely rare to encounter them at all more so in broad daylight.
