Game drives in Amboseli national park

We went out for a game drive last evening. The weather was hazy, and during the drive the wind kicked up and it even rained for a bit. Some highlights:

Baboons

Lion (we haven’t seen any closer… yet)

Hello Zeebah neighbah

Did you know you can’t hear elephants walk?

Elephant family

We were up at dawn this morning for another game drive. The haze cleared enough for Mt Kilimanjaro to be seen.

Water buffalo. Our guide said this is the most dangerous animal to humans. It won’t ignore you; it will set an ambush. And you can’t play dead. It will lick you with its sandpaper tongue and if you flinch, it will stick around to finish you off. Good to know…

Another look at Kilimanjaro

Mama and baby elephant. Amazing encounter – I’ll post some video next.
