EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Simon Maina from Agence France-Presse (AFP), we are transported to the Mpala Research Center and Wildlife Foundation, near Rumuruti, Laikipia District in Kenya. The image showcases an awe-inspiring African elephant engaging in a playful act of self-care amidst its natural habitat. With its massive frame and majestic presence, the elephant gracefully throws mud onto itself, creating a mesmerizing illustration against the backdrop of Kenya's breathtaking wilderness. This offbeat moment captures not only the essence of this incredible creature but also highlights its intelligent nature as it indulges in a therapeutic ritual known to protect its sensitive skin from harsh sun rays and pesky insects. The sheer power emanating from this magnificent animal is palpable through the lens. Its wrinkled skin glistens with wet clay, showcasing both resilience and vulnerability simultaneously. As we gaze upon this remarkable scene, we are reminded of Africa's rich biodiversity and the importance of preserving these precious ecosystems for future generations. Simon Maina's skillful photography allows us to witness firsthand the raw beauty that exists within our natural world. Through his lens, he invites us on an unforgettable journey into Kenya's wildlife sanctuary where every snapshot tells a unique story about our coexistence with these extraordinary creatures
