In this first post of 2019, we want to pause and look back at the best of Walk the Wilderness in 2018. The most popular post of 2018 in terms of number of hits was the rare sighting of mating Hyenas in Amboseli National park. The Wagdoh male – probably the...

Watching the largest herd of African Elephants in Amboseli National Park

by Thomas | Jan 28, 2018 | Africa, Amboseli, Animals, Endangered Species, Featured, Kenya

While out on the safari drive in Amboseli National Park, we saw a huge cloud of dust in the distance. As the animals came closer, it became clear that this was probably the largest herd of African Elephants (as seen in the feature image) that we had seen here. It was...

Rare sighting of Hyenas mating in Amboseli National Park

by Thomas | Jan 14, 2018 | Africa, Amboseli, Animals, Featured, Kenya

While Amboseli National Park is not known for its huge clans of Hyenas, we did spot a couple of den sites. The first one was described in post on Egyptian Geese in Amboseli. We did run into another small clan of Hyenas haggling over an old carcass. But the rarest...

Kingfishers of Amboseli National Park

by Thomas | Dec 24, 2017 | Africa, Amboseli, Birds, Featured, Kenya

Amboseli National Park is a birding heaven given its fair share of swamps, streams and other water bodies. And we also realized that it is one of the best places in Kenya to photograph Kingfishers especially the most beautiful of them all, the Malachite Kingfisher. We...
The Lion brothers in Amboseli National Park

The Lion brothers in Amboseli National Park

by Thomas | Dec 10, 2017 | Africa, Amboseli, Animals, Endangered Species, Featured, Kenya

Strangely enough Amboseli National Park is one place where we did not spot many African Lions, except for a pride that we saw on day one of our visit. While we searched the length and breath of the park, we did not see another pride or lone males. We made one last...

A suckling Zebra calf, Spur Fowl, Bustard, Lion & more – at Amboseli

by Thomas | Nov 26, 2017 | Africa, Amboseli, Animals, Birds, Endangered Species, Featured, Kenya

While the Zebra calf suckling its mother, that we sighted at the Amboseli National Park was the highlight of this post, this safari had other wonderful photography moments that we cherished. One such moment was when we spotted the Yellow-throated Spurfowl. With its ...

Lilac-breasted Roller in Amboseli National Park

by Thomas | Nov 12, 2017 | Africa, Amboseli, Animals, Birds, Endangered Species, Featured, Kenya

After several safaris into the Amboseli National Park, we were yet to see any African Lion. And our driver-guide wanted to make one last attempt to search for them on one of our game drives. We started off on a good note with the sighting of yet another African...
Grey Crowned Cranes in Amboseli National Park

Grey Crowned Cranes in Amboseli National Park

by Thomas | Oct 29, 2017 | Africa, Amboseli, Animals, Birds, Endangered Species, Featured, Kenya

On an evening game drive in Amboseli National Park, we saw a pair of Grey Crowned Cranes foraging close to the road and we stopped to get a picture. I waited till the famous Crown was perfectly spread by the wind and took a few pictures. I timed a capture when the...

Weird tusked Elephant in Amboseli National Park

by Thomas | Oct 15, 2017 | Africa, Amboseli, Animals, Endangered Species, Featured, Kenya

On one of our morning game drives into Amboseli National Park, we spotted this African Elephant mom and calf at a distance, by the side of the tracks. The mother had her back to us while she shielded her calf. We were keen to get a clearer view of the Elephant calf...

Pied Kingfisher in Amboseli National Park

by Thomas | Oct 1, 2017 | Africa, Amboseli, Birds, Featured, Kenya

After the hair-raising close encounter with the African Elephant, this game drive through Amboseli National Park quickly turned into a amazing birding safari. We saw a Hadeda Ibis (below) not far away from the road. But the highlight of this post is the Pied...
