Just two of the tallest Africans minding their business.🤣

Same species. Different stories.

I photographed these two zebras yesterday evening in the Ilchalai area while driving back to Kimana town, with the last golden light slipping behind the clouds.

One thing I always find fascinating about zebras is that no two stripe patterns are ever the same. Each zebra carries a completely unique identity, almost like a fingerprint. Nature’s own artwork painted across the Amboseli plains.

Here in the Amboseli Ecosystem, zebras have long shared the land with the Maasai community, grazing peacefully alongside cattle, goats, and sheep for generations. But as farms continue expanding around places like Kimana, they also find themselves navigating a changing landscape, sometimes wandering into tomato farms and becoming unexpected crop raiders.

Still, moments like this remind me how beautifully connected life in the ecosystem is. Wildlife, people, livestock, farms… all trying to survive under the same sunset.

After a full day hidden behind clouds, Kilimanjaro finally revealed herself at around 5:30pm.
I knew this was the moment I had been waiting for.

But there were no elephants beneath the mountain.

Then, in the distance, a herd slowly began approaching from the other side of the plains. I waited nearly 20 minutes as they carefully crossed the road, protecting their calves at the center of the herd while safari vehicles gathered around us and the park closing time crept closer.

Just as they made it across, one driver ignited their engine.

This mum turned immediately, ears spread wide, dust rising beneath her feet, a powerful warning to give her family space.

For a brief moment, beneath Africa’s tallest mountain, everything aligned:
the light, the mountain, the elephants, the tension, the silence.

This is Amboseli.
Beautiful, wild, and always on the elephants’ terms.

Two weeks ago, while on a game drive with in Amboseli after the recent rains, I found myself in a completely transformed landscape.

The plains were green, the air felt fresh, and everywhere you looked there was movement and life. Watching this herd of elephants move calmly across that space, you could really feel how everything in the ecosystem had come back into balance, even if just for a moment. Experiences like this make you appreciate how much nature gives when it’s allowed to function as it should.

This Earth Day, it’s a reminder that these environments don’t stay this way by chance. They depend on how well we protect and respect them. This is our home. Happy Earth Day

🎧 Sound on for this one.
This is Baraka, the blind black rhino of Ol Pejeta.
Meeting him was one of the most unforgettable wildlife encounters I’ve ever had.

Black rhinos are known to be extremely aggressive and among the most dangerous animals in Africa. Their poor eyesight often makes them charge first and figure things out later...kesi baadaye 🤣

Baraka was born in the wild in 1994, right here on the plains of Ol Pejeta. But in 2008 he lost his right eye during a fight with another male rhino, and later a cataract took the sight in his remaining eye, leaving him completely blind. Because he wouldn’t survive alone in the wild, the conservancy moved him into a protected 100-acre enclosure where he now lives under constant care.

But blindness hasn’t slowed him down.
Baraka knows when it’s feeding time.
He listens for his name.
He follows voices and sounds with those incredible ears.

My favorite moment?
Standing there feeding him and hearing the deep crunch of him chewing vegetation right next to me. Something about that sound makes you realize just how powerful and gentle these giants are.

Baraka is now an ambassador for black rhino conservation, helping people connect with a species that is critically endangered.

I grew up in Loitokitok, at the foot steps of Kilimanjaro.

Back then, seeing elephants wasn’t rare as it is today. They were my favorite sighting long before I ever held a camera.

Today, because of urbanization and human encroachment, most of them are confined to Amboseli National Park. To photograph them well, you either enter the park… or you get very lucky just outside the park.

In June 2024, I chose to wake up at 5am, drive my tiny (but brave) Suzuki Jimny to Kimana Gate, and wait for the sun to rise over Kilimanjaro.

Most tourist vans sped off chasing a lion sighting. I stayed.

Patience brought me three elephants, two adults and a calf, walking straight toward me.

When they lifted their trunks to assess me, I felt smaller than my camera. Smaller than my car. Smaller than the moment.

My Jimny is about the size of a baby elephant. If one adult had decided to scratch against it (which they love doing), this post would be very different.

Instead, they paused. Assessed. Stepped closer.

Close enough to fill my 70mm frame.
Far enough not to test the Cars suspension🤣.

The birds lifted into the air as if celebrating the negotiation.

That is what wildlife photography really is, sometimes the animals have to give you permission.

On this World Wildlife Day, I celebrate elephants not just as icons of Africa, but as intelligent, emotional beings who still allow us to share space with them.

They were my favorite animal as a child.

They still are.

Another year older today!
I accept birthday wishes and unnecessary hype.

Kindly keep your money, I’m well supplied 😂

Pause for a moment.
This is something you really need to see.
While statistics about a crisis often fail to motivate action, documentary photography puts a human face behind the numbers.

It's the key that unlocks essential funding and fosters genuine change (I’ve witnessed it secure $7 Million for a project in Kenya!).

To achieve this with ethics and effectiveness, local expertise is essential. So, here’s a reality check for my NGO/Agency colleagues:

You possess a compelling story, but are you conveying it properly?

When you require visual evidence that honors the culture, understands the landscape, and provides real context, you simply can’t match the value of local insights.

Avoid the costly flight tickets and logistical challenges of flying in photographers from abroad. Focus on investing in the profound, authentic storytelling that only a local expert can deliver.

I explain precisely how this "magic" unfolds in the article, and why local expertise is indispensable for executing a successful global campaign.

Out here pretending I know what I’m doing — and somehow, it works.

I have just drained a whole thermos of the sweetest tea ever.
So, today i was invited by my good friend Solomon to his village in Maasai Mara for breakfast. Solomon is a football player and a grade 3 landrover mechanic. I will share more of his story soon.

Back to the tea...
The best part of it was getting to this maasai village before 6am and documenting the morning routines fron cattle inspection, milking, tea making to tea drinking 🤣.
And the reward was totaly worth it.

A big thanks to Solomon for welcoming me to his home and to his wife for the tea.

In the Photo: Solomon(middle) and his collegue Amos(left) and greedy me in the right 🤣.

Behind us is Billy Jean, one of the landrovers Solomon and Amos helped to rebuild from scrap metal.
