Growing strong with dad: Lion-cub love.

Male/ dominant lions primarily protect and defend the pride's territory, indirectly ensuring the safety of their cubs. They do not provide direct care, such as feeding or grooming, which is the responsibility of the lionesses. However, under the watchful and generally tolerant eye of the adult male, cubs engage in playful interactions with them.

Commonly found in Uganda in Murchison, Kidepo, and Queen Elizabeth national parks, take time and visit these wild kings with us.

Did you know, tree climbing lions are not a special breed of lions?

They are named so because it is unusual for lions to climb trees. They do so for various reasons and in a way, helping them adapt to their environment. They climb to evade insects, cool off, and sight prey. Lions with this kind of behaviour can be found in Queen Elizabeth National Park of Uganda and in Lake Manyara National Park of Tanzania.

Resilient hunters.

Among the most common carnivores across the Savannah, the hyena’s hunting strategy helps preserve its life in the wild. Tiring out the prey by chasing it at a steady pace before eating it while it's still alive. As harsh as it might be, they help control herbivore populations and also do a good clean up job as they eat prey and carrion thoroughly, including the bones- preventing disease spread and ensuring ecological balance.

Visit the Savannah with us and watch them go about their life in the wild.

The EastAfrican cheetah. Except by region, it is identified to have a lighter coat compared to its counterparts in North and Southern Africa.

The Great trek. Lions form large prides due to the combination of high-value, diverse landscapes and specific social behaviours. In landscapes where resources are clumped and valuable, lions benefit from forming groups to defend, expand, and pass on territories to their offspring. This increases their competitive edge for the best territories, leading to the emergence of group territoriality.

A mutual relationship. Oxpeckers are known for their association with large mammals, and this relationship benefits both sides, though they are not entirely dependent on each other (facultative mutualism). Oxpeckers enjoy a meal of ticks of the host mammals and in so doing reduce the mammal’s parasitic load. This in turn improves the animal’s well being by avoiding irritations and infections. #Know the wild, follow us today. #wildlifephotos #wildlifesafari #africaamazing #discoverafrica #safari #capturethewild #africasafari #oxpecker #birds #holidayideas #travel #Safariguide

A story of an appendage. Incredibly versatile, an elephant trunk seems to fulfil tasks that proves it to have a life of its own. Extremely flexible and strong, the trunks perform nasal, feeding, protecting, cooling and socialising functions.
