In 2023, what is the experience of seeing elephants in Tanzania?

Giraffes are one of the most commonly seen animals on the African savannah. They have gentle temperaments, and their groups are harmonious and polite. Occasionally, there are some disputes. In the wild, giraffes live for 20-25 years, while those in zoos can live for over 29 years. A group of elephants walked straight across the road in front of our car, so close that we could almost touch them. However, we couldn't disturb them, so we had to suppress our excitement and silently watch them from the car as they flapped their two huge ears like banana leaves and swayed their tails, gradually moving farther and farther away from us. Not far away, two elephants were playing and frolicking. Just as I was finding them extremely cute, one elephant suddenly climbed onto the back of the other, and an inappropriate scene occurred. At that moment, a car came from the distance, and the two elephants dispersed. Deep into the heart of the national park, more and more wild animals appear in our sight one after another. The atmosphere of excitement and excitement spreads in the car, but my body also has problems. Not sure if it's the unfamiliar environment or the fact that I took a cold shower last night and didn't sleep well. In the morning, I started to have a headache. By the afternoon, the symptoms of the cold became more and more severe. Off-road vehicles bump along the dirt roads of the national park, and I am so exhausted that I can't even speak while slumping in my seat. But as I look at group after group of wild animals beside me, my excitement and sense of responsibility drive me to lift my heavy camera, constantly adjusting the position and switching cameras, pressing the shutter button time and time again. After standing in the off-road vehicle and blowing wind for a few hours, I might have some discomfort and diarrhea. In addition, I didn't sleep well last night, ate barbecue and took a cold shower. There was also a lot of dust on the road, and I started coughing. When I slightly moved my occiput, it was very painful. On the way back, there were many children on the roadside waving at us from afar when they saw the car coming. Vumi said they were begging for things, but we couldn't give them anything, otherwise they might taste the sweetness of getting something for nothing and drop out of school. On the first night, the campsite was not remote. It was in a village and much better than I had imagined. There was a kitchen, a swimming pool, and even hot showers. On the first night of Safari, the accommodation is a tent with a shared bathroom and shower nearby. There is also a swimming pool in the yard, but it's still a bit chilly this season. For dinner, the main course was fried pork chops, which were especially delicious. After we finished dividing the food, we realized that three drivers were eating with us. They were probably impressed by the extraordinary combat power of this group of young people, so the chef separated a separate portion for the drivers in the following days. Under the embellishment of the sunset, everything around becomes beautiful... except for those groups of mosquitoes that start to become restless. If you enter the tent a few seconds slower, those little cuties that have been eyeing you for a long time will accurately slip in and deeply kiss your skin in the middle of the night. The tent has a spacious interior, which was set up and arranged neatly before arrival. Plus, there are thick soft cushions, making the accommodation experience quite comfortable.
