AFRICAN WILD DOGS

Known for their big, beautiful satellite dish ears and brown, black, and white mottled coats. These carnivores run in packs through the plains and woodlands in a gang like search of their daily food.
The dogs hunt in packs and are Africa’s most successful predators. They will take down their prey an impressive 80% of the time. When a lion hunts, he’s successful only about 30% of the time.

Wild Dogs are known for their big, beautiful satellite dish ears and brown, black, and white mottled coats. Individual dogs can be identified by their mottling pattern. They stand about 30″ tall and weigh anywhere from 18 – 26 kg.
Each new litter can have up to 16 pups. They’re weaned by 5 weeks old, and the other members of the pack start regurgitating meat for them.

Once they’re 8 or 10 weeks old, they’re leaving the den and going out with the pack on hunting expeditions. They’re even allowed to eat first until they’re about a year old.
While they used to spread across 39 countries, there are now less than 6,000 dogs left, and their range is much smaller. This is due in large part to conflict with the people who live near them. People blame the animals for loss of livestock, and set out traps/snares. Poaching is also a problem.

Another danger comes when African Wild Dogs come in contact with domestic dogs. This contact puts them at risk for diseases like distemper, which has been known to wipe out entire packs. They have become rare enough that spotting a pack is a thrill. If you get to see them in person, enjoy the sighting while it lasts!

The Serengeti Migration, also known as the Great Wildebeest Migration, is the largest land migration on Earth. This incredible event sees vast herds of wildebeest, zebras, and gazelles moving across the Serengeti ecosystem in Tanzania and into the Maasai Mara in Kenya, following the rains in search of fresh grazing. Along the way, they must navigate dangerous waters filled with crocodiles and evade lions, cheetahs, leopards, and hyenas that lurk on land, waiting for an opportunity to strike.

The sheer volume of wildebeest, zebras and gazelles is a wonder in itself, with 1.3 million wildebeest and 300,000 zebras taking part. This is the largest herd movement of animals in the world – so large in fact, that it can be seen from space.
The dramatic river crossings are exhilarating to watch, but patience is needed to witness this spectacle first-hand. Wildebeest can take hours or even days to cross the Mara and Sand River from the Serengeti in Tanzania to the Masai Mara in Kenya.

There’s plenty of action to be found across the whole annual Serengeti Great Migration – with calving season from January to March, rutting season in April and May, and river crossing season from June to October, with the herd continuing to move south in November and December – just to start the whole cycle all over again. Most travelers consider the river crossings to be the most exciting part of the Great Migration to witness, and a must-do on the bucket list.

It goes without saying, being a cheetah in an area so densely populated by other large predators such Lions and Leopards, is extremely dangerous. A hierarchy of predators has been determined based on which animals would be more dominant over each other. Cheetahs are right down at the bottom of the list. This stretches beyond not only the physical anatomy of each species but also the psychology behind it.

Psychologically Cheetahs are often conflict-averse meaning they tend to avoid fights with other predators. As the fastest land animal on earth, they cannot afford to engage in any unnecessary physical confrontation as the slightest injury could essentially result in the inability to hunt and fend for themselves and result in the tragic loss of life. And mostly solitary, they do not have any other cheetah around to help them obtain their next meal.

Just south of the Equator, between the soda waters of Tanzania’s Lake Eyasi and the ramparts of the Great Rift Valley, live the Hadza, a small tribe of approximately 1,300 hunter-gatherers: one of the last in Africa.

For many travellers visiting Tanzania, the Maasai are our country’s best-known ethnic group. But they only make up 3% of our multi-ethnic nation that has more than 120 tribes.

This is because the Hadza/Hadzabe are an even smaller ethnic group that lead a quieter, more secluded lifestyle and occupy areas that are a bit more off the beaten path. This naturally makes the Maasai more familiar to many travelers, while the Hadzabe appeal to those seeking more niche, immersive cultural experiences.

What makes their life so interesting is their still very traditional lifestyle as hunters and gatherers.

Did you know that giraffes are the tallest land animals, gracefully roaming the savannas of Africa?
Giraffes boast an astonishing height, reaching up to 19 feet (5.7meters) tall! Their long necks, consisting of seven vertebrae, allow them to effortlessly reach the highest leaves on trees

These gentle giants are herbivores, primarily feeding on leaves, buds, and shoots making their tongues specialized and the strongest of any animal. Giraffe tongues can be an impressive 18 to 20 inches long! allowing them to grasp foliage and strip leaves off branches with ease. For comparison, the average human tongue is between 3 to 3.5 inches long.

Here are some fun facts about giraffes:

➡️Giraffes have a lifespan of 20-25 years and can run up to 35 miles per hour.

➡️They give birth standing up and baby giraffes can stand up and walk within minutes of being born.

➡️Giraffes have blue tongues and live in herds of up to 50 individuals.

➡️Just like human fingerprints, each giraffe's coat pattern is unique.

Unfortunately, giraffes face numerous threats in the wild, including habitat loss, poaching, and human-wildlife conflict. By raising awareness and supporting conservation efforts, we can help protect these magnificent creatures for future generations.
