An Intimate Morning with a Gentle Giant

Before dawn had fully released the plains of Amboseli, I stood alone with Craig, Africa’s legendary super tusker. The snow-capped Kilimanjaro loomed behind us, low clouds resting just beneath the peak, as the first rays of sunlight brushed the earth. Craig moved with a calm certainty, his massive tusks catching the gentle light, trunk grazing the grass, eyes serene and wise. Behind him, two other bulls lingered in the soft shadows, and the world seemed to hold its breath.

It was a rare morning of pure presence—the silence of the plains broken only by the whisper of dawn. The wide-angle lens allowed him to remain just a few meters away, yet fully at ease, a true testament to his gentle spirit. Every ray of light, every shadow across the dusty ground, every gleam of ivory seemed to pause with him.

Craig passed peacefully on 3 January, and this image now holds even greater significance. It is not just a portrait; it is a moment of communion, a tribute to the quiet dignity, enduring strength, and lasting legacy of one of Africa’s last great tuskers.
