Hills of Africa. In the valley below, you may be able to spot buffaloes lying down in a slightly greener patch of grass on the left, and elephants along the river, while there are also white rhinos in the valley (which are not visible in this photo). The view is from Lewa Conservancy toward the hills of Samburu National Park, taken late afternoon. To me, this is a quintessential African scene.
