Gentle giants
Kenya, Africa
Photographer: Will Burrard-Lucas
Elephants are the elusive giants of the
animal kingdom – something that
photographer Will Burrard-Lucas began
to understand on his quest to document
Kenya’s last great African tuskers in Tsavo
Conservation Area. “No matter how long
you spend with elephants, they will always
be doing something interesting; whether
it’s a young elephant learning to use its trunk
by picking up sticks and stones or gigantic
bulls jostling for control of a waterhole,” Will
explained. “That’s my biggest secret – the
more time you spend with a single species,
the more you learn to appreciate it, leading
to a more rewarding experience.”
