We travelled to Kenya earlier this year in the middle of rainy season. That said, we had very little rain (at least that affected the trip). When it did rain it was at night, and for the most part, it was sunny during the day. With a few exceptions. This was the final afternoon before flying home that night. Karen and the rest of the guests decided to take it easy and check out a new restaurant in Nairobi. I, of course, saw one more opportunity to find wildlife and headed to Nairobi National Park. It rained a lot that afternoon, but that just made for some interesting photos. And the rhinos certainly didn’t seem to mind. Nikon Z8 with Nikkor 70-200mm lens (at 120mm) ISO 6400, f/5.6 at 1/1000th of a second.
How special to see two rhinos in the wild! They are so endangered, but this photo gives me hope for them, Lovely, moody shot. Your instincts to skip the new restaurant were spot on.
I always like to check in on Nairobi National Park on our first day in Africa because it’s the usually the most reliable place to see rhinos on our itinerary.

The raindrops add such a wonderful element toan already great capture. Well done, Sean!
