Photo by @amivitale. Robert, a Samburu guide, stands at the edge of a pool where elephants sometimes stop by for a drink at Sarara Camp (@sararacamp) in Northern Kenya. In the background is the Mathews Range mountains, which are considered sky islands because the forested peaks are surrounded by dry plains. The word "sarara" means meeting place in the Samburu language, designating where the mountains meet the savanna.
