Sir David Attenborough at Porini Camp

As we drove into Porini Camp (Amboseli), a Cessna Caravan with Sir David Attenborough and his BBC crew landed. They were making a documentary on the 'Lion Guardians', about how the Masai warriors now adopt a lion and protect it - rather than killing a lion as a rite of passage to warriorhood.

Sir David Attenborough and his BBC crew coincided with our stay at Porini Camp, Amboseli. They were making a documentary on the ‘Lion Guardians’, about how the Masai warriors now adopt a lion and protect it – rather than killing a lion as a rite of passage. This picture shows (L to R) Wilson Kasaine (Porini Camp naturalist),  Bruce Stark of SafariKenya, Sir David Attenborough, and safari guest, Dominic Court.

Elephant family at Amboseli

2012 SK favourites 006We came across this family group which was coming down from the bush to the Amboseli swamps. Stopping beside the elephant trail, we managed to take countless fantastic photos as they slowly walked by our LandCruiser.
