Elephant Near Amboseli National Park, Kenya

Photo of an elephant walking with Mount Kilimanjaro in the background.

I photographed this elephant in the Selenkay Conservancy near Amboseli National Park, Kenya.  This conservancy, and many others leased from the Maasai, are private conservation lands that provide large acreages for wildlife habitat outside national parks in Kenya.  The conservancy idea is in use outside Kenya as well.

Elephants, Amboseli National Park

A line of elephants heads toward one of the many wetlands in Amboseli National Park.  If you want to see elephants while in Kenya, you go to Amboseli National Park.  Amboseli has 1,600 elephants.  It was always easy to find elephants to photograph there.  Chobe National Park in Botswana has the most though, with 120,000 elephants.  Wow.
