Sometimes in wildlife everything aligns, and this is one of those moments. It’s an image of Michael, a magnificent super tusker, known for his enormous tusks that almost touch the ground. What is even more extraordinary is that he’s only in his early 30’s so just entering his prime years as a bull elephant, which means he will continue to grow both the size of his tusks and in stature.
The fact that this was my first sighting of Michael after several visits to Amboseli made it even more special and serendipitous. I had heard that Michael was in musth so he was frequenting the park in search of receptive females. That would increase my chances of a sighting of him.
We set off at dawn the next morning and drove towards the Ol Okenya swamp area to see if he was amongst the first groups of elephants moving into that area. My guide Eric spotted him almost immediately amongst a family of elephants, who were moving at a pace, clearly agitated by his presence. The matriarch wasn’t interested & other females were not interested.
After a period, he separated from the herd and started grazing, but slowly but surely, he moved in a direction where I could align him with Mount Kilimanjaro and I was able to get an image of two magnificent giants together, emblematic of Amboseli’s iconic wildlife and landscape.
