The migration season has arrived, bringing with it one of nature’s most awe inspiring spectacles: The Great Wildebeest Migration
This week, our head guide Simon Saidimu, led a group of eager guests to witness this incredible event at the Mara River.
The Great Migration is a breathtaking journey that sees over a million wildebeests, along with zebras and gazelles, travel across the Serengeti and Masai Mara ecosystem. They move in search of fresh grazing grounds, following a cyclical pattern dictated by the season

This is Neema, a magnificent cheetah known for her grace and beauty. Neema is the sister to Nashipai and the daughter of the late Rani, who was revered in the wild for her strength and nurturing nature.
Here, Neema is seen in a moment of tranquility, embodying the essence of a relaxed and satiated predator. Her sleek body and keen eyes reflect the elegance and power that define the cheetah species. As Neema lounges comfortably, it’s clear that she has just enjoyed a satisfying meal.

Traditional Maasai Dance
Visiting a Masai village while staying with us offers a unique and enriching cultural experience. It allows guests to immerse themselves in the traditions and lifestyle of the Masai people, who have a rich heritage and are known for their distinct cultural practices.
The visit typically involves interactions with the villagers, where guests can learn about traditional Masai dwellings, daily activities, and the significance of rituals and ceremonies in their culture. It provides a firsthand glimpse into how the Masai community lives in harmony with nature and preserves their age-old traditions.
One of the highlights of such visits is the opportunity to witness traditional Masai dances. These dances are not only a form of entertainment but also hold deep cultural significance. They often depict stories, celebrations, or rituals, and are accompanied by rhythmic chanting and vibrant costumes adorned with colorful beads and intricate patterns.
Experiencing a traditional Masai dance during dinner adds an extra layer of authenticity and enjoyment to the evening. It allows guests to engage more deeply with Masai culture while enjoying delicious meals under the starlit African sky. The combination of cultural immersion and culinary delights creates lasting memories and fosters a deeper appreciation for the diversity and traditions of Kenya's indigenous communities.

Meet one of the gentle giants of the Mara! This majestic elephant is wearing a tracking collar as part of the Mara Elephant Project conservation efforts.
The collar you see on this elephant is part of a tracking and monitoring system used by the Mara Elephant Project (MEP). These collars are equipped with GPS technology that allows researchers to track the elephant's movements in real-time. This data is crucial for understanding their migratory patterns, habitat use, and interactions with human activities. By monitoring these movements, MEP can better protect elephants from threats such as poaching and human-wildlife conflict, ensuring a safer and more sustainable future for these magnificent animals.
Together, we're working towards a sustainable future for elephants and their habitats.

Experiencing the majestic "big five" animals in their natural habitat is always an exhilarating adventure, and having the opportunity to observe lions up-close is particularly captivating. On this particular occasion, our safari brought us face-to-face with two magnificent members of the river pride lions.
The male lion was persistently following the female. His intentions were clear—he was keen on mating. However, it quickly became apparent that the female lion was not in the mood to reciprocate his advances. She exuded an air of graceful indifference, occasionally casting a glance back at the persistent male but mostly focusing on her surroundings as if his presence was merely a minor distraction.

Lenkoe from River Pride Lions
Meet Lenkoe, a formidable lion of the River Pride, once a member of the Offbeat Pride. The distinctive notch on his right nose tells the tale of his fierce battle for dominance. In the wild, being a male lion is never easy; it demands strength, ruthlessness, and sometimes, the heartbreaking act of eliminating the previous leader's cubs to secure his reign. Lenkoe's journey is a testament to the brutal, yet majestic cycle of life in the savanna.
Encounters on the African Savanna
We embarked on a game drive with the aim of spotting one of the Big Five, specifically lions. As we cruised slowly, scanning for the majestic rulers of the savannah, our attention was drawn to a group of hyenas and jackals gathered in one area. Their collective focus intrigued us, prompting our tour guide to investigate further. Upon closer inspection, we discovered a lone lioness reclining beside a dead jackal, seemingly disinterested in consuming it. Her expression hinted at weariness, suggesting she sought only peace and respite. It remained unclear whether she was responsible for the jackal's demise or if another predator had made the kill and abandoned it. Regardless, the presence of the hyenas and jackals hinted at the potential for scavenging or conflict over the carcass.

In the heart of the African wilderness where the Mara River flows, we see a breathtaking scene of elephants uniting to cross over to the other riverbank.
As they ventured into the River, each step was measured and deliberate. The powerful current tugged at their colossal frames but they stood firm. It was a collective effort as the older elephants ensured the younger elephants followed closely till the very last minute.
