 We were out on a day game drive in the Serengeti National Park when we swere lucky enough to experience a lot of truly great sightings. These included two pairs of lions mating and wildebeest crossing the Mara River. On our way back, we thought that the drive simply could not get any better. We came across this male black rhino in the open grass...

 I was lucky enough to have birding enthusiasts on my vehicle when we spotted a big bird in a tree. We all focused our binoculars on this bird and realised that it was an egyptian vulture, which is very rare to see. This is only the second time that I have seen one of these birds in the 4 years that I have been guiding.

Late in the afternoon we found a pack of wild dogs hunting.We found it impossible to keep up with them. So I decided to wait a few hundred meters away with a herd of impala in front of us. Our patience paid off. Before long there were impala and wild dogs running everywhere. Again, we could not keep up. So we just sat and listened. All of a sudden we...

 After many days of searching, I finally saw my first black rhino in this reserve. It was a cold morning when we were driving to the southern end of the reserve in the hope of finding wild dog, when the bush exploded and a rhino stopped a short distance from us. He was huffing, puffing and snorting away. We had clearly disturbed him. He stared at us,...

 Today I can across a pair of these amazing fish! They look exactly like sea grass floating around the reef, hence why they are called Sea Grass Ghost Pipefish.They are usually found in pairs and are quite territorial. Hopefully we will be able to find them again soon! They are also difficult to photograph as they are constantly moving with the current,...

 I’ve just come back from leave and one of my highlights in the first days back has definitely been our 8 week old leopard cub. We had a fantastic sighting of the female trying to teach her youngster how to take its first steps in climbing over obstacles. The mother would climb from rock to rock, making the task of following her a little more...

 We don’t see African cuckoo hawks in this area very often. Having spotted one across the river in a silver-cluster leave was an absolute bonus! We went across to have a closer look and get a picture. As we got closer, we realised that the hawk was feeding on something. In its claws was a chameleon. It had torn the head off already and was busy...

 We had a great birding morning yesterday, as we came across a lion cub on the edge of the sand river. Whilst we followed the little female, we also spotted the tracks of the pride moving into the riverbed. We eventually lost sight of the youngster when she ran into the reeds, following the other lions that we had now spotted on the other side of the...

 A fire has swept through the mountains where a pack of 12 wild dogs have there den. Only a few of our rangers have been lucky enough to see it active with 10 pups at about 5 weeks old running around. This was only possible by foot and from a very long way away. Seeing the dogs now, some distance away, had us wondering if the pups had survived. The...

Good news for the Kirkman’s Kamp offspring! This afternoon, whilst on game drive, the rangers spotted our resident pride of lions, the Charleston Pride, with both of their cubs alive. The younger of the two had lost the pride 2 days ago in the riverbed.
