Seems I also captured a fair amount of footage of elephants from our visit to Samburu last June. All of these clips were taken from the dining area of our camp, just across the Ewaso Nyiro River from all the action. The camp is appropriately named Elephant Bedroom, as throughout the day (and night) elephants wander through, looking for a quick meal from the fruiting trees that surround the guest tents. Karen and I are leading another tour back to the same place at the end of April. Looking forward to more of the same. Nikon Z8 with Nikkor 500mm PF lens, 4K at 120 fps.
Beautiful footage, Sean, of probably THE most magnificent beast that calls this planet home. They move with such grace despite their “ballast”. I love the cells you captured of the elephant that moves behind the trees where a small primate was sitting, apparently enjoying the parade! Well done! Keep the films coming!
Thanks Sue. On this next trip in April I’ll be capturing a lot more video. On the last trip, it was more of an afterthought, and I didn’t really switch over to video until after I had gotten my fill of stills.

Terrific footage!You just helped me start my day with a smile.
Thanks Bill. I’ll keep them coming.
LOVE these videos. This one was so amusing. Great seeing these huge animals just acting normally in their habitat.
Thanks Mom. And this was all shot in the middle of the day when we were all sitting around back at the camp enjoying lunch.
Beautiful!!!
