2012-02-14 Amboseli NP, Kenya

Another very good and sunny day in Amboseli for us, again around the central swamps of Longinye. The day started slower than yesterday. The big herd of Elephants was very far from the road with the best light, but later on we had an amazing thrill, as the big bull Tim came right up to our vehicle. His massive tusks and head were right out of the car, we could have almost touched him. In the afternoon we watched a number of families of Elephants leave the swamp at sunset, giving us good photographic opportunities with dust and backlight, and the spectacular and dramatic landscape of Amboseli behind.
