Desert or Lake??

When heading back to Nairobi from Amboseli National Park, we drove on what looks like a desert plain. This is Lake Amboseli, a temporary lake that floods during the rainy seasons.

You can spot a small number of animals crossing this lake, probably heading for the wet swamps in the game reserve

Cynthia Moss's camp

Cynthia Moss has been studying the Amboseli elephants for around 30 years, and knows each and everyone of them by name. We were lucky to visit the park with someone who had been working for her, and with whom we paid a short visit to her camp, although unfortunately Cynthia was not there. The campsite is hidden among palm trees, and elephants are walking right past the tents.
