Michael Hiles Posted March 4, 2017 Share #1  Posted March 4, 2017 Advertisement (gone after registration) My wife and I were privileged to take a 3-day safari in the Masai Mara Park in Kenya recently. Game drives were the centre of our days, and the spectacle of the magnificent animals was more than I can express.  I am just organizing my pictures, so over time I will share a few that resonate for me.  This picture was made when our guide drove us into the middle of a herd (about 20) of elephants. We were roughly arms length from these mighty animals as they gracefully moved past our vehicle – strangely, all the animals we saw had no problems with our Toyota Land Cruiser, which they evidently knew was not a threat. We didn't get out. Welcome, dear visitor! As registered member you'd see an image here… Simply register for free here – We are always happy to welcome new members!

soegaard Posted March 4, 2017 Share #2 Â Posted March 4, 2017 Yes it's amazing how close you can get to the animals as long as you sit in the Land Rover / Land Cruiser. Thanks for sharing the lovely picture. JK Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
euston Posted March 5, 2017 Share #3  Posted March 5, 2017 Delightful picture, Michael! Very nicely done! I’m looking forward to seeing some more.  I took a trip to the Masai Mara over 30 years ago - a truly memorable experience. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Hiles Posted March 5, 2017 Author Share #4  Posted March 5, 2017 Thank you both. I never imagined that "Michael" and "Safari" would show up in the same sentence - but luck and serendipity combined to provide us with a fabulous time that included highlights around Nairobi, the Masai Mara and Diani beach on the Indian Ocean (plus a day in Zurich en transit). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

fotografr Posted March 6, 2017 Share #6 Â Posted March 6, 2017 Beautiful sight. I just hope people in the East lose their lust for ivory before these great creatures, along with white rhinos, become extinct. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just hope people in the East lose their lust for ivory before these great creatures, along with white rhinos, become extinct. Â I hope to too. China has, I believe, taken a positive step by outlawing trade in ivory. As usual - follow the money. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
