Amazing place. We actually encountered an elephant about that size while walking through the bush. Very humbling. It's not too hard to follow their trail. It looks like a bulldozer pushed and pulled it's way through the trees. Ironically, the South Africans that brought us to the park told us about a similar story that happened, I believe, in Kruger. It was a much worse situation where the car was crushed with a man inside. AFAIK, he survived without any major injuries. Apparently, this is not a unique situation... http://honeygrahams.typepad.com/soultrip/2004/06/south_africa_1.html Been to that park!! Amazing place.

VW should use this as an ad somewhere for its suspension... that IS his fifth appendage - and that IS a large bull. one might say that the VW is a lovebug? or that the elepahnt is inspired by the Rabbit (you know what they say about rabbits)...
