Settled into my open tent at Somalisa Acacia, the view over the waterhole was already a gift. Then, suddenly, an enormous elephant appeared, walking slowly in front of me, majestic and calm. He approached to drink, to spray himself with water, crossing the pool from one side to the other. For more than an hour, he occupied this natural space, indifferent to time. His gaze resting on me, deep and tranquil, created a silent connection.
It was time for my shower, but impossible to look away. The imposing presence of this animal, so close, was a powerful reminder of wildlife in its purest state.
This memory will stay with me: the simple magic of a moment shared with nature.
