Dear ATCNews Readers,

Greetings from us all at Gamewatchers Safaris & Porini Camps!

Here in Kenya, the conservancies and parks are brimming with wildlife right now and guests at our Porini Safari Camps in particular have had some wonderful game-viewing in the past few weeks.

Our guests and safari guides have been sharing their images from the daily game-drives and guided walks.

This unusual shot of an elephant using his trunk like a hosepipe was taken by our Guide, Daniel Mpararia, at the waterhole near Porini Amboseli Camp in Selenkay Conservancy.

Giraffe Research at Ol Kinyei Conservancy

Their 18 day project was a "giraffe census" – a mission to identify and document the individuals within Ol Kinyei – and the findings were very interesting…
