They are the biggest land mammals on earth – powerful, majestic and surprisingly gentle. In Botswana’s vast river systems of Chobe and the Okavango, we follow Africa’s elephants as they navigate scorching droughts, life-giving floods and the daily struggle to find food and water. Led by experienced matriarchs, family herds cross barren land to reach rivers and mud baths, while young bulls clash and spar to test their strength. We witness tender care for newborn calves, the tragic fate of an orphaned baby, and the moving way elephants react to death within the herd. Using infrasound and vibrations carried through the ground, these gentle giants can communicate over great distances, share vital information and coordinate huge gatherings. “Elephants Up Close: Gentle Giants” reveals an intimate portrait of their intelligence, empathy and complex social lives in a changing African landscape.
