Where are the Elephants?

In the thirty plus years that I have lived in Gabon Africa, have I seen an elephant? Not even!
I've seen what was probably "droppings" from an elephant. I've seen photos that others have taken of elephants. I've heard of elephants trampling Africans' gardens but never have I seen one. I've seen elephants in the Omaha Henry Doorly Zoo but not in Africa!
