Masai Mara morning
Masai Mara morning, lion and elands. A hundred metres behind our camp.

Unwelcome Aunt
The Southern Pride's youngest cubs stay secluded with a favored aunt. Tension rises when another lioness approaches, but it's diffused through submissive gestures. Eventually, the mother will introduce the cubs to the pride, anticipating a warm welcome.

Heavy Pedestrian Traffic
We inhabit a weird world. As you can see there's extremely heavy pedestrian traffic, blocking our path to work, but nary a zebra crossing.

Survival Saga A Newborn Wildebeest's Fight for Life on the Savannah
Life on the savannah is hard. Watch a wildebeest calf, perhaps only a few hours old as it literally finds its feet as it walks with its mother. Natural selection weeds out the weakest and least adaptable. And yet it's not just about, strength or adaptability. Sometimes it boils down to social support structures or just plain luck.
As we put our cameras away, a hyena tried to sneak in unnoticed and snatch the calf from its mother. It would have succeeded but for an aunt who put her own life at risk to charge the hyena. We caught the very end of that charge and had no time to zoom in. The calf survived to walk another day.

Zebra Crossing
Our zebra crossings are three dimensional and have a life of their own. And yours?

The Bucket List Travel Company
Our neighbours, about a hundred metres behind our camp.
For some reason they decided against looking us up. Perhaps they thought it was too early in the day to drop in, unannounced.

A lone hyena holds at bay, a small group of hungry jackals, eager to snatch as many morsels off the carcass, as they can.

Jackals can harass leopards and force them away by the sheer volume of their yelping. Watch Kini's boy tense as he starts out life on his own, getting intimidated by a pair of jackals. You can see how stressed he is, by the slow movement of his tail, a gesture that any house-cat owner will be able to read.

Greeting Etiquette in East Africa
After all, it is polite to greet each other as we go our separate ways.…

Elephant Sighting
Elephants everywhere. This is from a few weeks ago, before the drought had ended. The ground was parched, and the air was shimmering with heat, blurring anything at a distance.

Decisive Steps to Dreamland: Lions Heading to Their Bush Bed
Lions can walk very decisively indeed...
...as they head to a bush to go to sleep.

Kini up on an Acacia tree. She walks around a bit and finally checks out a Hamerkop's nest perhaps hoping to find a chick there.

Cheetahs are the fastest land animals, and they start practicing early. Watching cubs play is enough to make your head spin.
