Elephant Watch 2014

Elephant Watch 2014

Elephant Watch 2014









Just wanted to share some of the pictures from the safari I led to Kenya last month. These are from Samburu's Elephant Watch Camp. 



This magical place is run by the world-famous elephant conservationist Iain Douglas Hamilton and his family.



The elephants here are carefully monitored and visiting them feels like being introduced to the Douglas-Hamilton's extended family.




Elephant Watch is an eco-friendly camp and the family were so welcoming to our group that I thoroughly recommend them to anyone who is likely to visit Kenya.



I now can't wait to get going on a new painting of an elephant.
