Nothing quite compares to your first sighting of an untamed animal oblivious to your presence. (Or if not exactly oblivious, completely unconcerned.) We were lucky this afternoon to come upon a herd of elephants feasting on the thorny Acacia shrubs that litter the plains of the Masai Mara. As the herd munched, they paid us absolutely no heed and we were able to come in close enough to see this baby nuzzle in to its mother.
