Being out in the bush, always fantastic experience @highonthehog you were lucky to take photo's of the elephants.
We had a similar experience up in Zimbabwe, landed in the middle of a herd crossing in front and behind us going to the river. Switched off the car engine and sat quietly (did not even taken photo's since they had young with them) only two of us in a car, middle of a reserve alone, you could literally touch them. I just held my breath in awe.
