2016-10-02: Elephants

As everyone surely knows by now, elephants are my very favourite animal to spend time with and to photograph. My time in both Uganda and Kenya did not disappoint with elephant sightings. From seeing their footprints in the forest while tracking gorillas and chimpanzees in Uganda, having a large male outside my tent at my camp in Amboseli, or being surrounded by the largest herd I have ever see while in the Mara, I had a little bit of everything.

Here are a few images of my favourite animal. I hope you enjoy, and have a wonderful day.

20161002_elephants-6 — A large herd of elephants passed through the Ol Kinyei conservancy, and we were lucky enough to spend about an hour with them one morning. This tree was a favourite for neck scratching as the group moved along.

20161002_elephants-5 — One of the family groups seen in Ol Kinyei Conservancy while staying at Porini Mara Camp.

20161002_elephants-4 — Every elephant is unique; this one in Amsoseli National Park had tusks that crossed at the tips. I had a lovely time being so close to such lovely, relaxed elephants.

20161002_elephants-3 — Granted not the greatest elephant picture ever, but such a lovely sundowner spot in the Selenkay conservancy while staying at Porini Amboseli camp. There was a raised viewing platform by the waterhole, where everyone staying at the camp gathered for drinks and snacks.

20161002_elephants-2 — This big guy could almost be called the camp elephant at Amboseli camp, as he stopped by pretty much every day to graze amongst the tents and visit the nearby waterhole. I took this standing by the door of my tent, he was amazingly close.

2016-09-23: Feel Good Friday

I returned earlier this week from an amazing holiday to Uganda and Kenya. I’ve barely had time to load all my photos and video into Lightroom, let alone start editing, but I wanted to post one photo, the main reason I booked the trip.

I will be sharing loads more photos, and lots of stories over the coming weeks and months. I met wonderful people, saw beautiful landscapes, and witnessed an abundance of wildlife.

It’s been awhile, so I had to get some elephants on again for my Feel Good Friday post. Just look at that little baby!

Wishing everyone a fantastic weekend ahead 🙂
