Tsavo’s elephants take their colour from the red earth they dust themselves with. In the dry season they come to the waterholes in long lines, and a ground-level hide puts the lens at the height of the water, close enough to hear them drink.

Day 2 · Into Tsavo
Drive or fly to Tsavo and settle into camp, with a first afternoon at the waterhole.
