My most memorable moment in Africa takes me back to my childhood travels. Swimming in the Ewaso Nyiro River with the setting sun made for a stunning backdrop. As we were enjoying our swim, a herd of elephants decided to join us in the river, resulting in a unique (and thrilling) safari experience. - C.H.
