Amboseli

Amboseli is in South Kenya and borders Tanzania.It's famous for it's big elephants, we saw lots but most of the really big ones were pretty far in the distance.You had to sleep with a lantern outside your tent here to keep the elephants away.Mt Kilimanjaro is in the background , but it was always pretty hazy and dusty so I didn't include it in many of the shots.
On the way in to Amboseli I was asking our driver Joseph about African wild dogs, he was telling me how they were the rarest animals to see these days. Within ten minutes of the conversation we ran into a pack of 4 right in the middle of the road, I didn't get my camera out in time and all I got was this blurry shot.I still love it, I think it portrays their elusiveness!
We had another visit to a Masai village, this was was a little better photography wise and I'll ad more photos of the visit next post.These girls were so shy, but so cute.They live quite a different life from my daughter.

We saw two hyenas finishing off this Wildebeest when we first arrived at sunset.
