RED KNOB SEA STAR

Found this little guy not to far offshore. Often times they will get caught to high in the sand while the tide is going out and end up with a sun tun. The do however seem hardy enough that it doesn't seem to bother them all that much.

MAGICAL PLACE

Living in an area where every day passes by with wildlife storming through the area and that is full of adventure is simply the best time in my whole life. We left in the morning for a game drive with my two guests, Vadim and Katya. The main quest for the drive was to find the elusive cat; the leopard. Whilst on the way to 'ranger post' we come across...

FIRST FOR MNEMBA

We were pleasantly surprised to wake up this morning with a new friend. The Greater Flamingo is no stranger to Tanzania but none are known to live in or around the Zanzibar area. Perhaps he's just here for a "layover" and will catch another connecting flight soon. In any case Karibu Mr. Flamingo and you may stay as long as you like!

RARE FILEFISH ON THE HOUSE REEF

We have two new special residents on the house reef. Those two scrawled (also called scribbled) filefishes seem to always stay together, which is quite intriguing since they are usually solitary. The big one is almost a metre long and they both have been feeding on the plankton we have at this time of the year.

Later at about 100 metres before Lake Magadi we saw a hyena cub of about a year and a few months old eating the...

FIRE GOBY

This little Fire Goby sometimes called a Fire Dartfish, spent most of their day hovering above the home in the sand. Zooplankton and copepods are his favorite meal. If you watch closely he will flick his tiny dorsal fin back and forth to talk to others in his group.

UNIQUE ANIMAL BEHAVIOUR OF THE CRATER FLOOR

On our game drive today on the crater floor along the hippo pool at around 12h30, we were watching a few hyenas that were very close to a buffalo breeding herd with their calves. There was also a big male warthog around there. At first I knew that they were looking for an opportunity to hunt one of the buffalo calves. The way it is here is that it is...

COKES HARTEBEEST CHASES CHEETAH

It was whilst we were on our afternoon game drive on the crater floor that we saw something quite amazing. We saw a lioness with her cubs. At the time that we were observing these lions, we also saw a cheetah in the distance. We stayed put and continued to watch. The cheetah came closer to the lions without realising that they were there. Suddenly the...
