A tender family moment in Loango National Park, where a young elephant walks safely between two adults across the wild coastal grasslands of Gabon.
In Loango National Park, on Gabon’s Atlantic coast, I had the chance to watch a peaceful elephant family moving together through the open grasslands. The smallest member of the group walked safely between the adults, its ears stretched wide as it tried to keep pace with the older elephants. To me, this scene feels like a quiet family journey — perhaps on the way to water, perhaps searching for a better feeding ground. Moments like this show not only the power of wild Africa, but also its gentleness.
