The Elephant Child (photos by Ian Salisbury)






Ian Salisbury, general manager of a safari lodge and amateur photographer, captured this scene, very reminiscent of Kipling's "The Elephant's Child" in South Luangwa National Park, Zambia.

After hearing that a lodge guest had witnessed a similar attack, Mr Salisbury took his camera to check it out, "The action was so quick, a couple of seconds, and fortunately I had the camera pointing in the right direction. Having spent 30 years in the African bush I realize how lucky I was to catch the scene."
