One thing about Mount Kilimanjaro is that you never know what you’re going to get. And if it’s looking good, it’s even better when you have an elephant in the viewfinder.
A family of elephants walks toward a marsh in Amboseli National Park. The marshes are fed by springs and seemed to be in good shape when I was there this past June.
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.
