In the heart of Mana Pools I witnessed a scene that felt both ancient and transcendent. The legendary elephant "Boswell" rose above the dry earth onto his hind legs, while the younger elephants gathered, watching with quiet reverence, as if attending a lesson passed down through generations. This image preserves not just the physical act of a powerful elephant rising to improbable heights, but the essence of mentorship in the wild. The master and his apprentices, a moment where instinct becomes legacy.
