Amboseli Airstrip to Tortilis

Driving directly from the airstrip only takes about 1 hour, but Junior took us on an extended tour of the area - here are just a few gems.

Great White Egret

Snake Bird

White Pelican and Saddle Billed Stork

Grey Heron


Marabou Stork m. looks like his feet are missing but it was the best view of the air sac


Grey Crowned Cranes (photo-bombed by a lion)


After the first two flew in, huge numbers followed and there must have been 50 or more - it was amazing to see.


The lion then walked straight towards us.


Lovely Elephant






Zebra (of course)


Common Ostrich m.


Waterbuck with its distinctive toilet seat shape markings


Wildebeest


Cape Buffalo with Yellow Billed Oxpeckers


Hippo


Hyena
