Elephant fight

Our last day in Botswana. We spent the last two nights in a camp called Footsteps. We were the only guests in camp, along with about 6 staff members. It was an incredible experience. We had elephants walking right by the camp and could hear the hippos in the water just a few metres from our tent. On the drive to the airstrip, we encountered a couple of male elephants having an argument. This consisted mainly of them thrashing the life out of bushes and trees and they tried to claim dominance by showing their power. They did clash tusks and bang heads a few times as well until the younger one decided he'd had enough and reversed away rather quickly. A great thing to watch on our last drive.
