Fauneya

Twin East African elephant hotspots across the Kenya-Tanzania border. Kenya's Amboseli is the iconic 'home of the giant tuskers', with 1,500-1,900 elephants grazing in open marshes against Mount Kilimanjaro — the world's longest-studied elephant population, monitored since 1972. Tanzania's Tarangire, further south, hosts one of the highest dry-season concentrations in East Africa, with herds of 300+ drinking at the Tarangire River beneath iconic baobabs. Sunrise silhouettes with Kilimanjaro are the shot every photographer dreams of.
