A Photo Safari In Kenya - A New Report Has Been Added
Ladies and Gentlemen,

We took the kids on a photos safari to Kenya, and visited Ambosili National Park.

Here are a few photos of a nice elephant we saw.

Saeed,

Wonderful pictures of the elephant. Be truthful, you were thinking about shot placements on the elephants, weren't you?? Smiler

The youngster with the big daddy has pretty good ivory at this tender age. He will become a big tusker if he doesn't break them.

Question: How close were you photographing the elephants?
24 February 2010, 18:22
Saeed
The closest I presonally got was about 3 steps from the car.

One bull got his trunk into the other car they had to move backwards to avoid being touched by the trunk.

We saw a large herd of elephants that we estimated to be over several hundreds. They stretched for what looked like at least 2 miles.

We did not see many buffalo, thougfh, except two small herds, and none had any decent bulls in them.

Zebra were literally in the hundreds, though.

Outside the park we found many carcasses of mostly wildebeest, which apparently died in the drought.

I did not really see much of Kenya except being in the bush.

The camp we were in was run extremely well, and the Masai guides who drove us around were very knowledgeable about the country and its animals and plants.

I am preparing more photos to post later on.

WOW. Beautiful photos Saeed. There are some amazing shots in there.

The zebras sure seemed to be tempting fate!

The photos of the elephant dumping made me laugh out loud. Smiler

Great photos! Loved, loved the elephants. I think I need to go to Amboseli. Where did you stay? How did the kids like the safari?

Kenya Wildlife Service is saying that 9,000 zebras and 7,000 wildebeests have died since 2007 because of the drought. KWS is relocating 4,000 zebras and 3,000 wildebeest into Amboseli so you probably saw some of the new zebras. They are bringing them in to feed the predators so they don't eat cattle and goats of the Masaai.

Ladies and Gentlemen,

I am getting requests on when the next installment is going to be of these photos.

I have a few thousands to wade through, and will post more selections as time permits.

I hope to have one lot posted tomorrow, and the next should follow in a few days time.

Glad you all like them.

"Peace is that brief glorious moment in history when everybody stands around reloading" - Thomas Jefferson

Every morning the Zebra wakes up knowing it must outrun the fastest Lion if it wants to stay alive. Every morning the Lion wakes up knowing it must outrun the slowest Zebra or it will starve. It makes no difference if you are a Zebra or a Lion; when the Sun comes up in Africa, you must wake up running......

"If you're being chased by a Lion, you don't have to be faster than the Lion, you just have to be faster than the person next to you."
