Amboseli National Park

Flew down to Amboseli this morning in a small puddle jumper....I panicked a bit when the door closed but Candyce was there for me. Once up I MOSTLY calmed down but it was still close to overwhelming with my claustrophobia. But SOOO worth it. Amboseli, with Lawrence as our driver, has a large, diverse group of animals. So much so that I am going to spread out some of today's videos and photos into multiple footprints. After waiting all day, Kilimanjaro finally let us see her this evening on our second game drive of the day. I managed to frame the largest mountain in Africa with a tree, which looked awesome. There were elephants galore throughout the day. Lunch at the Tawi Lodge, also gave us a show, as 3 large elephants walked within 50 feet of us as we ate. Also, the first of many, many fantastic sunsets. The leopard we "spotted" (weak joke) blended in so well we almost missed it. Amboseli is in Southern Kenya and about a 30 minute flight south of Nairobi.Read more
