 It’s been some months that we haven’t seen the Albino Kingfisher. This bird caught our attention in such a way that, whenever we go out on game drives, we were so excited to see and show it to our guests. Because this bird is an outcast, he was chased away by all the other Grey Headed Kingfishers and later on we thought he left the area....

After some months of dry season this year, Lake Manyara was almost completely dry. Most of the flamingos moved to other nearby alkaline lakes. But just like miracles, after it had rained, the lake is no longer greyish from all the dry soil but a pink cloud of flamingos that is all over the lake with nice calls in a background from every corner. It’s very...

 During our night drive with one couple, Jack and Veronic by the lake shore the first things we saw were about 20 hyenas trying to bring down a wildebeest. This battle took no less than 15 minutes before the wildebeest escaped. Moving on, our tracker Bariki spotted a porcupine at a distance of about 200 metres away! This beautiful nocturnal animal...

 During our morning game drive we had a wonderful sighting of this rare vulture (Palm Nut Vulture) feasting on a buffalo carcass. These birds are known as fruit and fish eaters but in Lake Manyara you can see how much they are eating on red meat. They've completely joined the side of other meat eating scavengers like jackals, hyenas and other...

 Today we have had a fantastic elephant show, and the highlight was this young calf, just under a year old, doing some amazing "dance moves" near its mother.

It's my first time to see this rare and nocturnal animal coming out of its hidden, secret place before dark. During our evening game drive this had happened as a big surprise! We thought we were seeing a ghost but we realised what it was as it approached us. Displaying itself on the plain and feeding where we could clearly see its beautiful pied quills...

 These beautiful and largest African Canids are still giving us more time to enjoy the show as they are very relaxed and entertaining at the lake shore near the Lodge. This is the best wild dog sighting since the Park was started.

It was around 09h15 when we were heading out to the airstrip, and we were still searching for a leopard. We heard a strange noise like something fell just few metres in front of our vehicle and the dust rose up. We all looked to see what it was and saw an Augur buzzard. It flew up with something hanging. Later we realised that it was a lizard.

 What an amazing drive with a huge surprise today?! After seeing two white tailed mongooses and a porcupine this morning, which are supposed to be seen at night, we ended our evening drive with an extremely rare sighting of 5 wild dogs in Lake Manyara! My two guests Ketan and Jinesh, and I were taking photos of elephants around the hot springs when my...
