A male ostriche performs a dance to impress the female. He struts around in circles, bobs his head up and down, and flaps his wings in a display of strength and agility. The dance is also a way for the male to show off his beautiful feathers, which are a vital part of attracting a mate.Do you think he succeeded? 🎥 @kimathiweru ⠀#Safari #travel #Africa #LuxuryTravel #wildlife #magicalKenya #WhyIloveKenya #world_wildlife #youmustsee #africa_vacations #onsafariwithSomak #africanamazing #travelling #TravelTheWorld #ostritch #ostritches
Wildebeest Migration!
The Wildebeest migration is not only noted as a wonder of the world, it is also a great opportunity for people to witness nature at its best. There is nothing like observing the behaviour of predators as they lurk in the bushes whilst the prey scamper for safety from them. This is literally ‘survival of the fittest’ in the midst of the African bush.
During April to July the wildebeest start moving north towards the Masai Mara in search of greener pastures as well as seeking out the next watering hole. Most gravitate towards the Mara River.
Our safari experts will be able to advise when the best time to go is and where, in order to have the best possible experience.
With our experienced driver guides, you are guaranteed to have an unforgettable time.
We hope that seeing this wonderful footage by Martin has inspired you to want to go on safari, and enjoy seeing these animals yourself, and to help, we have some amazing itineraries available.
We would love to work with you to plan the safari holiday of a lifetime so get in touch today!

World Lion Day!
It’s #WorldLionDay! 🦁
Lion populations have decreased from over 200,000 a century ago to less than 50,000 today.
Lions are top predators in their environment, whether that’s grasslands, desert or open woodland. It means they play a crucial role in keeping a healthy balance of numbers among other animals, especially herbivores like zebra and wildebeest – which in turn influences the condition of grasslands and forests.
If large predators such as lions disappeared, herd populations would balloon, and grazers would eat up the grass. The savanna would become a sandy desert.

When you are on a luxurious safari, there is no better place for some relaxing downtime on a hot day than lazing by a pool with a jaw dropping view of the African wilderness. Set in the heart of the great northern territory of Kenya, Surana Buffalo Springs is an extraordinary African safari oasis where an arid landscape meets a lush resort replete with desert flora and fauna, creating a breathtaking backdrop for the camp. The main infinity pool and Spa are bedded into a natural ridge, allowing the continuation of breathtaking views of the river where you stand a good chance of spotting elephants.📍Surana Buffalo Springs
We are always learning wildlife facts from Martin, our amazing driver guide!
Here is a Serval Cat in the Masai Mara.
Martin told us they are the tallest of Africa’s small cats, with long legs and very prominent ears. Not only can jump high and far but they have a wonderful ability to swerve and change direction at full speed.

Gorilla Trekking
Winston Churchill declared Uganda the ‘pearl of Africa’ and it is filled with lots of amazing experiences and gems to explore as well as home to mountain gorillas, chimpanzees and the thunderous River Nile.
Gorilla Trekking is a unique experience where you hike to see the mountain gorillas in their natural habitat.
Definitely a thrilling once in lifetime experience and one to add to the bucket list!

🌊 #WorldOceansDay was established in 1992 at the Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro with the aim of raising awareness about the crucial role the ocean plays in our lives.
As ocean levels and temperatures continue to rise over 30 years later, this message couldn’t be more important.
However, much of the vastness of the ocean remains a mystery, which is perfectly encapsulated in the theme of this year’s World Ocean Day: Awaken New Depths.
As travel enthusiasts, we can't think of a better way to honour the oceans than by exploring their incredible beauty firsthand. Somak Luxury Travel offers dream holiday packages to some of the most spectacular coastal destinations, each with its own unique marine wonders.

This is your sign to book a safari in Samburu!
Located north of Laikipia, it is the scenery that really sets Samburu apart from other reserves in Kenya.
The diversity of the savannah, forests and mountains is a beautiful combination.
As well as Lions and the other Big Five, you can also see the Samburu Five - five rare and endemic animals to the Samburu ecosystem.
These include the reticulated giraffe, the Somali ostrich, the gerenuk, the Beisa oryx and the Grevy’s zebra.
