On a sad note, the inevitable has happened to our beloved Amarula. The bat hawk anti-poaching surveillance patrol picked up a dead elephant, and ground recce determined it was Amarula. Amarula was at least 65 years of age. No one witnessed his passing but age clearly was against him. He was not poached, none of our elephants have ever been poached. His legacy is immense, and we have the memories of him, as well as the knowledge that there are numerous little Amarulas running around in the herds. Rest well our boy, you have blessed the park with your foot prints all over, and the most awesome viewing for our visitors, some maybe a little too close.
