Photo by @amivitale. After a long hot morning exploring in the wilderness it's time for the elephants at Reteti Elephant Sanctuary (@r.e.s.c.u.e) to have a mud bath, followed by a dusting. The mud is essential to keep them cool and protect them from the Kenyan sun. It's also heaps of fun! Reteti is part of the Namunyak Wildlife Conservancy in the Mathews Range of Northern Kenya and was established in response to demands from the local community, who recognize wildlife as an opportunity to improve livelihoods. Please follow all of us, @amivitale, @r.e.s.c.u.e and @sararacamp to support and learn more about these initiatives. @nrt_kenya @lewa_wildlife @ConservationOrg @tusk_org @kenyawildlifeservice @sandiegozoo @natgeocreative @thephotosociety #elephants #saveelephants #retetielephants #stoppoaching #kenya #northernkenya #magicalkenya #whyilovekenya #africa #everydayafrica #natureisspeaking #photojournalism #amivitale Uma publicação compartilhada por National Geographic (@natgeo) em Mar 24, 2017 às 3:19 PDT
