"Hopefully in a few days, we will have the opportunity to see Tim again, the biggest tusker in Kenya. There was a time when numerous elephants with big tusk freely roamed across the African continent, but sadly, many of the biggest tuskers have been poached. There is a new trend in which many elephants are now being born without tusk. The elephants are so smart and are adapting to survive in their tragic environment. I am so glad I chose not to put off all the travel I have done throughout Africa. Sadly I have experienced so much more than my niece and nephew will ever get to experience on this magical continent, however with the constant fight to save them and their own ability to adapt, there is great hope the elephants will not become instinct. However, if you want to see large herds of these amazing animals, then move Africa to the very top of your bucket list!!! Have an extraordinary 2017!"
