Happy International Zebra Day!

Did you know that Zebras are primarily grazers and can subsist on lower-quality vegetation! They help the local ecosystem by grazing on dry, hardened grass that is too tough for other species to digest. Join us for one of our journeys that includes a visit to Akagera or other Savannah parks of East Africa to witness yourself how these unique striped animals balance the ecosystem.

One of the Waterbuck photos taken randomly as rain started pouring in Akagera National Park. We did spot them during our day game drive.

Waterbucks live in herds of 6-30 individuals with one male who defends the territory.

As their name suggests, they have a close connection with water. Waterbuck always live near a body of water and use it to escape from a range of predators, which include lions, cheetahs, hyenas, and African hunting dogs.

They have an oily secretion that covers their coat and doesn’t smell pleasant. This helps them to find a mate and makes their coat waterproof.

For experiential tours do not hesitate to contact or DM us.
