Our wildlife and landscape photos come from photographers who share their work on Wikimedia Commons under Creative Commons licences. We thank them here. Each photo was cropped and resized for this website.
Where a picture shows a general Amboseli or Kenya scene rather than one specific lodge, camp or vehicle, it is a stand-in and is described that way on the page. We replace stand-ins with our own photographs as we take them.
