Lorsque l'hyène mâle atteint sa maturité s*xuelle à l'âge de deux ans, il quitte la maison et part à la recherche d'un nouveau groupe. C'est un processus violent et vicieux. Lorsque la femelle alpha du nouveau groupe permet enfin au mâle d'entrer, il est accueilli en étant constamment harcelé et forcé de lutter pour la nourriture et le s*xe.

Permettez-nous de vous accueillir dans notre bien-aimée Tanzanie et de vous montrer pourquoi notre pays est synonyme de safaris africains

KARIBU SANA !

When the male hyena reaches s*xual maturity at the age of two years, he leaves home and goes to find a new group. This is a violent and vicious process. When the new group's alpha female finally allows the male in, he is welcomed by being constantly harassed and forced to struggle for food and s*x.

Please allow us to welcome you to our beloved Tanzania and show you why our country is the synonym for African safaris

A beautiful Serval photographed in the Serengeti National Park. This long-legged cat is adapted to see over tall grasses, and has formidable jumping abilities when hunting for prey. Their sense of hearing is so exceptional that they can even locate rodents that are burrowed underground. Servals were once worshipped by the Ancient Egyptians due to their sublime grace and power.

The Lilac-Breasted Roller prefers open woodland and savannah where it perches conspicuously at the tops of trees, poles or other high vantage points to locate insects, lizards, scorpions, snails, small birds and rodents more easily below.

A Banded Mongoose colony in the Serengeti National Park. This species mainly inhabit open forest and grassland savannah where - in a complex social structure of up to twenty individuals - they can be found living in termite mounds that allow them to gain both easy access and having plenty of emergency exits for when danger calls.

Inhabiting mainly woodland savannahs, a herd of Giraffe seen here in Tarangire National Park are browsing on leaves at a height that most other herbivores cannot reach. Gregarious by nature, they live in family groups of related females and their offspring, or in bachelor herds of unrelated adult males where they establish social hierarchies through 'necking', which are combat bouts where their necks are used as a weapon.

It's a sort of mating dance, a way for a young Maasai man who has just become a warrior to demonstrate his strength and attract a bride. ... Two men enter the centre and begin to jump, heels never touching the ground, straight into the air as high as they can go.

When you see these cats climb you will be struck by how effortless they make it seem; how strong their necks, shoulders and jaws are when hoisting prey high into the branches of a tree and how they can balance on branches narrower than their paws.

Who else enjoys seeing the Kings of the jungle resting? There is nothing better than seeing these animals on your first day of safari!

Sable antelope (Hippotragus niger)

Sable is an antelope which inhabits wooded savanna in East and Southern Africa, from the south of Kenya to South Africa.

The sable antelope has a compact and robust build, characterized by a thick neck and tough skin. It has a well-developed and often upright mane on its neck, as well as a short mane on the throat. Its general colouration is rich chestnut to black. Females and juveniles are chestnut to dark brown, while males begin darkening and turn black after three years. However, in southern populations, females have a brown to black coat. Calves less than two months old are a light tan and show faint markings. The underparts, cheek, and chin are all white, creating a great contrast with the dark back and flanks. Long, white hairs are present below the eyes, and a wide, black stripe runs over the nose.

Hamerkop (Scopus umbretta)

Hamerkop is a medium-sized wading bird. It is the only living species in the genus Scopus and the family Scopidae. The species and family was long thought to sit with the Ciconiiformes but is now placed with the Pelecaniformes and its closest relatives are thought to be the pelicans and shoebill. The shape of its head with a long bill and crest at the back is reminiscent of a hammer, which has given this species its name after the Afrikaans word for hammerhead. It is a medium-sized waterbird with brown plumage. It is found in Africa, Madagascar and Arabia, living in a wide variety of wetlands, including estuaries, lakesides, fish ponds, riverbanks, and rocky coasts. The hamerkop is a sedentary bird that often shows local movements.
The hamerkop takes a wide range of prey, mostly fish and amphibians, but shrimps, insects and rodents are taken too. Prey is usually hunted in shallow water, either by sight or touch, but the species is adaptable and will take any prey it can. The species is renowned for its enormous nests, several of which are built during the breeding season. Unusually for a wading bird the nest has an internal nesting chamber where the eggs are laid. Both parents incubate the eggs, and raise the chicks

Female lions captures most of the mid-sized prey (wildebeest, zebra, etc.) but the males typically catch the really large prey (buffalo and giraffe). A male can eat 43 kg in a day; a female may eat over 25 kg. But their average intake is about 8–9 kg per day.

Peregrine falcon (Falco peregrinus)
Also known as the peregrine, is a widespread bird of prey (raptor) in the family Falconidae. A large, crow-sized falcon, it has a blue-grey back, barred white underparts, and a black head. The peregrine is renowned for its speed, reaching over 320 km/h (200 mph) during its characteristic hunting stoop (high-speed dive), making it the fastest bird in the world, as well as the fastest member of the animal kingdom. According to a National Geographic TV program, the highest measured speed of a peregrine falcon is 389 km/h (242 mph). As is typical for bird-eating raptors, peregrine falcons are s*xually dimorphic, with females being considerably larger than males.

Female lions have to straddle the line between strength and speed. Evolution has shaped them to a nearly perfect predator, large and powerful enough to take down powerful wildebeest and cape buffalo, but agile and quick enough to kill gazelles and impalas. Their coloration and lack of mane makes them nearly invisible in the grass.

The Yassin safaris aims to enable anyone who wish to travel to Tanzania according to his budget. So, if you wish to enjoy the real African experience and be accompanied by a roar of lions and trumpet of elephants, we are your best choice

Hippos have a healthy and mostly herbivorous appetite. Adults eat about 80 lbs. (35 kg) of grass each night,traveling up to 6 miles (10 kilometers) in a night to get their fill. They also eat fruit that they find during their nightly scavenging, according to National Geographic. If food is scarce, hippos can store food in their stomachs and go up to three weeks without eating.

22/02/2021

A hippo has an enormous mouth and it can open up to a whopping 150-degree angle. Their diets certainly have something to do with it—a two-ton mammal has to eat a lot of food to sustain its metabolism. But s*xual selection also plays a major role: Opening one's mouth very widely is a good way to impress females (and deter competing males) during mating season.

21/02/2021

Hippos have very delicate skin that needs to be protected from the harsh sun. The hippo produces its own natural sunscreen—a substance called "blood sweat" or "red sweat," it consists of red and orange acids that absorb ultraviolet light and inhibit the growth of bacteria.

Vulture

A vulture is a scavenging bird of prey.
A vulture’s eyesight is incredible. Each eye has two lenses; one is used to scour the area and the other to magnify objects. It is said that a vulture can read the headline of a newspaper from a height of 1km!
Most vultures have almost bald heads with only a thin layer of down covering the skull. This prevents feathers becoming soiled when they feed on the inside of a carcass. A vulture can also regulate its temperature either by exposing or hiding its head depending on the weather conditions.
Vultures can be seen in all of the national parks in the northern circuit of Tanzania. So next time you see one, do not just think of it as a horrible bird, but rather a clever cleaner of the wild.
