The news came across an adorable video of two elephants slipping and sliding in mud on the banks of a dam situated at Askari Game Lodge and Spa in Magaliesburg.

After heavy rainfall in the area, the two elephants try to make their way to the dam but soon realise that walking in the mud will not work.

The elephants then resort to sliding their way down.

A visitor on a game drive at the lodge captured the hilarious video and posted it on facebook.
