2012-02-18 Amboseli NP, Kenya

A cool and cloudy morning in Amboseli. The sky cleared quite soon though, revealing Mt Kilimanjaro in all its beauty and snow covered slopes. We watched many Elephant families come into the swamps in two big waves. As one of my guests left with the afternoon flight, a strong dust storm blew in the western side of the park, we struggled to find some Elephant but all were grazing in the swamps. Soon after it started pouring rain really hard, and the Elephants all decided to leave the swamps more or less at once. They headed back to the east, but they dust-bathed extensively before disappearing.
