2022.09.12.5201.iPhone Land of Doum Palms and Acacias

Just before dawn in Samburu, northern Kenya, land of acacias and doum palms, land of sand and rock and dust, with the lifegiving Ewaso Ng'iro River coursing through it and separating the Buffalo Springs on the far bank and Samburu national reserves. Don't be lulled by the serene scene photographed from the Elephant Bedroom Camp, because there are crocodiles in the river and big cats stalking the banks. For the human visitors, a day of safari adventures is beginning; for the ones who live here, it's another day of survival in a challenging landscape. ©2022 John M. Hudson | jmhudson1.com
