Masai Mara Our last day was the most amazing day. It happens like that to make you want to come back! First up was a stunning sunrise, then the Rekero lion pride with the 9 cubs were playing out in the open.       Then we got word that the cheetah cubs were playing […]

Masai Mara There is a cheetah with five cubs in the park but park wardens have forbidden most people from going to the area where she is. Brian has a permit that allows him to go to this spot. He has been here for over 30 years and has built up relationships with the Park […]

Masai Mara The sunrises in the Mara are just beautiful. The Mara is a land of so many personalities with stunning landscapes and amazing wildlife. People think of Africa/Kenya as a land of the big 5 but the bird life here is stunning. We were lucky enough to see another crossing today, and the apprehension […]

Masai Mara  First thing this morning we caught up with the Rekero Pride as they have six cubs. It was difficult to get any good shots as they were playing in the bushes.  So we went in search for a mating pair and found them with the Serena Pride. We photographed the mating pair twice. […]

Masai Mara  We saw leopold out in open for the first time! Her name is Bahati, daughter of Olive who is very well known as she was on Big Cat diaries a BBC series, but unfortunately, no longer alive. Bahati was on one side of the ravine at first, then crossed over to the other side. We […]

Masai Mara  We went in search of the leopold and her cub but we couldn’t find either of them. We then saw a female lion chasing off a male lion. Rather than have to deal with a whole pride, he ran off. The lioness was making a very distressing sound but we weren’t sure why.  […]

Masai Mara Once again it was an early start with a great sunrise. Heading over to see the Paradise Pride (the name is not because they are happy, it’s about the location) we knew we were going to be treated to another special day in the Mara. On the way over to the area that […]

Masai Mara We went down to the river crossing as we had heard that the Wildebeest were down there, and they were. They just didn’t want to cross for whatever reason. This is quite normal. They are either very skittish or indecisive, I’m not sure which. I’m hoping the Ostrich can’t see me, but I […]

Masai Mara Another day, another beautiful sunrise Vulcher African Cape Buffalo A mating pair: the lioness was looking bored while her male suitor was showing how scary he can look, thrashing his head around.   We found the Marsh pride, but they were all sitting in and around bushes fast asleep. Lions sleep about 20 […]
