Dream Trip 2008: September

Great Travel Moment

I caught these two baby elephants holding trunk to tail in the Masai Mara in Kenya. Who knew they actually do this in the wild?! I thought it was just made up for movies like "The Jungle Book". You would never see this in a zoo because you would never see two babies so close in age. This was just one example of their behaviors that it was such a privilege to see. Each day was something different and special--baby warthogs playing, lion cubs nursing, cheetahs hunting and lions chasing them off their kill. You couldn't write a better script! It was so incredible to see the animals in their natural habitat and to share the experience with my children.
