There are only 3 elephants but the interaction with them was enjoyable & we were not rushed away, allowing all in the group to take as many photos as we wished. Overall a very pleasant experience & our guide Bernie was very informative of the work being done both in Conservation & Education at Glen Afric. The Simple Wild is a wonderful, enemies to lovers story that tugged on so many of my heart strings, but Wild at Heart was the romance novel I was waiting for to. Wow! The picnic was enough for 4 & we were determined not to over indulge as we wanted to experience an evening meal in the restaurant, so we discreetly shared our fruit platter with the workers attending to the thatched roofs who welcomed the refreshing taste in the dust & heat of what they were doing. We booked a picnic on arrival to include an overnight stay & should have stayed longer if just for the peace & tranquillity. Wild at Heart significantly differs from most Lynch productions for the way its narrative belongs concretely to a singular genre (the outlaw road movie) and largely pivots on heroes who aren’t sexually repressed. T here’s a defining moment in David Lynch’s Wild at Heart where Lula (Laura Dern), a liberated southern belle, takes the wheel of a 1965 Ford Thunderbird convertible while Sailor. She lost all her photos of feeding the elephants after Sunday lunch so a revisit was on due on her return. Being a fan of the TV series, my wife had been to Glen Afric 6 years ago when visiting her mother in Pretoria.
