Klein's Camp

In the heart of Maasai territory on the north-eastern boundary of the Serengeti National Park is a private concession of 10 000 hectares, set aside for the exclusive use of Klein's Camp's 20 guests. The spectacular location of the camp on the edge of the Kuka Hills commands sweeping views across a broad valley through which the annual great migration passes.

ALBINO ZEBRA

Today is one of those days that you see what you didn't expect to see. I was driving from the Northern part of the reserve looking for two male cheetahs. I saw this albino zebra on the base of Lengawas hills instead. She was with other zebras. I think I saw an albino zebra last year but I'm not sure if this one is the same one.

When the wildebeest migration moves in the area there are high chances of seeing this zebra. The albino animals can sunburn easily from over-exposure. But this zebra has survived because of its health conditions. No matter how powerful God seems to be, He sometimes just runs out of paint (melanin), and every time this happens an albino animal is born.
