Some of our favourite Amboseli moments, all from one trip.
That lioness came down to drink well after dark. Everyone in the vehicle went quiet when she looked up. Nobody wanted to be the one who moved.
The elephant were a different story. Next morning we sat in the hide at the edge of the waterhole, basically at knee height, and they came in family by family, red dust and all. One of them sprayed water about two metres from us. Our guest laughed so hard she missed the photo.
Then the walk. Our Maasai guides took us out on foot and we ended up standing in the open with seven giraffe staring back at us. Nobody said much. You don't really need to.
