Wow! #1 is awesome! I love the 3 dimensional composition: elephants, huge tree, clouds, mountain. That needs to be a panoramic monster-print in your living room!

I felt like it was a spiritual experience that is hard to explain to those who haven’t been there. You probably understand what that connection to the land is now that you’ve spent some time there. I had the good fortune to go a second time, a trip to S. Africa in 2009. Of the two trips, Kenya was the best in terms of wildlife sightings and interesting people.

On the first trip, I shot 17 rolls of film with mediocre results. On the second trip, I took a 10 mp digital which vastly improved the keeper rate. I also kept a diary for each trip.

My Canon 5D MIV and 100-400 lens looked like a toy compared to the others on this trip! Most had huge prime lenses, yes plural, that cost more than all my stuff! I wish I had done a diary, we left at 5:30 short lunch break and back after dark for dinner, I didn’t have time!

That is a stunning place with that sky in the background even if the light was leaving the scenes , it still was a worth-while set to take advantage of before it disappeared . Must be quite a trip to take and a lifetime experience to witness.

Yes, Amboseli is at the base of Mt. Kilamanjaro in Kenya. The peak of Mt. Kilimanjaro is over the border in Tanzania. Amboseli National Park is very close to the border with Tanzania.
