Jongomero Charging Elephant
Photo By Thomas Piekunka

Title: Jongomero Charging Elephant
State/Province/Region:
Country: Tanzania
Nearest Area: Ruaha National Park
Nearest Town: Arusha
Best Season: Autumn
Description: This elephant had been grazing in camp all morning. We were preparing to leave to our next camp and were taking group photos and saying our goodbyes when this guy charged us. He was no more than 30 feet from us. I turned, took the shot and ran with the rest of the group into the lodge. Thankfully it was a false charge. We must have disturbed him. He sure scared us!
Gear: Canon 5D, 24-105 L IS USM lens
