We finally got internet again! Our first stop in Kenya was Amboselli National Reserve, which was full of different types of animals, and probably the best place we have been in Kenya so far. We camped out for two nights in luxury tents with solar electricity, bucket showers, and really good food. We had sundowners, night game drives, and lots of opportunities for photos. However, the most memorable part of Amboselli was probably our semi-scary run-in with a rogue elephant (see him below). We were on a walking safari with two Maasai warriors who were fully equipped with spears and swords. We stopped at a watering hole when all of the sudden the elephant came out from behind a bush, about 20 feet away from us. The elephant made a warning noise, put his ears up, and lurched towards us. Our warrior guide said, "Run quickly!" and we ran straight into the forest. Thankfully the elephant did not follow us, but it was definitely memorable. Amboseli was beautiful, and one of the best places we have been so far.
We also got to meet and interact with a real Maasai village, and it was a beautiful experience.
Whoa! Close call with the elephant! Incredible photos you are capturing. Thank you for letting us in on all of this amazing journey you are taking.
