Amboseli is renowned for its elephants - there are thousands here in huge herds of 50+ animals, so my pano is a sparsely populated one! The problem is that most of the big herds pass in front of Mount Kilimanjaro in the late morning (after 10.30 am) and again in the evenings, but the peak/crater of the mountain is usually covered in clouds by 9 am, so it is a Catch 22 situation!
