Wednesday, November 28, 2018

Play time in the Mara River. Elephants sure know how to have fun!

Another Amboseli pic taken a couple weekends ago. Who needs colour anyway?

A couple of the Masai Mara's tourist attractions.

Muddy bathwater from the Mara River.

Evening playtime.

Animals evolve in form and appearance for good reasons... hmm... Really??

Elephants and Acacia tortilis trees- one of my favourite combinations.

Like ships in a sea of grass.

Zebras are known for their 'no-holds-barred' fights...

Classic Amboseli view.... with Gnus.

Bath followed by a good scrubbing.

A bit of a tangle.

Seeing how soft & cuddly the lions were, a tourist asked his guide "Can I step out and pet that one?"

"Sure you can" said the guide.... "Once".

This is from last New Year's Lamu Jahazi race... just to break the monotony of wildlife an landscapes!
