A recent tour of South Africa’s Pilanesberg National Park was halted briefly by a long procession of elephants striding majestically in line across a road.

Nombekana Wildlife Safaris and Photography described the scene as “amazing.” The accompanying footage shows elephants of all sizes walking purposefully just yards in front of the group.

The first of 14 elephants reaches the road at 30 seconds but viewers will want to pay attention at the 1-minute mark. That’s when a newborn elephant emerges from the grass, an obedient member of the procession.

“Look at the baby,” the videographer whispers.

As the last of the elephants pass, the guide asks, “How outstanding was that, guys? Oh, my god…”

The clients are in awe and don’t respond, so the guide adds: “My thoughts exactly. Just mind-blowing stuff.”
