At about 07:15 around Ziwani area {lake magadi} we saw a new wildebeest calf being born which was about 5 minutes old. The calf lay down and the mother tried to get the calf to stand up. After about 2 minutes the calf started suckling and we left when the calf started to run around here and there.

Just close to "Msalaba mkubwa", we were watching a Golden Jackal, when we saw a sub adult hyena coming on our side. When the hyena was about 2 metres away from the jackal, it started barking while the hyena didn't pay any attention. The jackal continued barking and confronted the hyena. As the hyena didn't seem to mind, the jackal followed it...

 It has been over one year now since Kitoi, the bushbuck was first sighted at the camp. We reckoned he was about a month old when we first saw him, definitely too young to be by himself. Normally a female bushbuck gives birth in thick cover and calves remain hidden for the first three to four months. They are only weaned at the age of about six months....

"in hurry hurry there is no progress" - This is one of the Swahili language's famous proverbs {haraka haraka haina baraka}. Another way to put is: patience pays. The same day's game drive on our way to the picnic site for a tea break we came across a lioness sighting and just a few metres away from that there was a female warthog with her...

The Migratory flocks of different bird species are arriving from Europe, escaping the winter weather. Perfect timing as the November / December short rains have provided a wide range of food, enough to support those who have survived the long journey. On our game drive today down to the crater floor we experienced the arrival of the white stocks and...

 After the long dry season that hit the crater very hard resulting in the drying of Lake Magadi for the first time ever, the past two months of short rains have changed the entire area for the better. The whole area looks beautiful; the contrast between the colours is outstanding. Green vegetation with lots of different flowers; morning glories,...

We usually see them in this same area. It was about 5 metres away from us and it seemed that the...

The open plains of western Ngorongoro are lush and green. Yesterday we saw hundreds of migrating herbivores and big cats - Lions and Cheetahs... What a beautiful day! Any time this month the wildebeest (gnus) will start to drop their young.We had a great day and are very excited to see the mega herds of the migration in our area again.

We were lucky to find the main herd. We enjoyed the experience so much that we...
