Episode Synopsis "Field Recording: Close Encounter With A Group Of Elephants"

August 22 2015, 4:06 PM. Split Island, Okavango Delta. We were inadvertently about to camp between members of a group of elephants on a narrow strip of island. This display (ears, stomping, trumpets) let us know in no uncertain terms that we should leave the passage between them open.
