"At the waterhole" Top 5 Page for this destination Mole National Park Things to Do Tip by grets

A very rewarding pastime at Mole National Park, is to spend some time just watching the comings and goings at the waterhole. We spent a couple of hours with binoculars, keeping an eye on the crocodiles that were keeping an eye on the antelopes. Two elephants appeared and went in for a swim and a drink. In the distance we saw another bull elephant get nearer and nearer, and by the time he approached the waterhole, the original two elephants got very twitchy. A standoff ensued but eventually they let him come and play in the water too. They did, however keep their distance all the time he was there, and I could see they were keeping a close eye on him. This is nature unfolding before your very eyes – much better than watching it on TV!
