I got chased by elephants, Kariba, Zimbabwe 1991, maybe within 50m.

They didn't seem happy & yes i saw its soul.

Have you ever read "there's an elephant in my kitchen" about a lady who ran a wildlife sanctuary in south Africa. Lots of wonderful stuff about elephants and their intuition.

We took one to a river for a bath, it was an amazing experience watching her roll around and play

Awesome. We got to our raft which we were staying in. I went to the back and there was an elephant having a bath right there in the river. I couldn’t believe it

It depends where you are. If you're in Africa and in the wild you'd best not to look an elephant or any animal in the eye unless you fancy being dead. Most animals would take that as a threat.
