Last but not least we spent two nights at Namiri Plains Camp in the Eastern Serengeti. 10 photos don’t even begin to capture the volume and variety of wildlife we encountered. It felt like we had the whole of the eastern Serengeti to ourselves 📷

Marching on - our second safari guided by Ninian and Kip started with 8 nights in the very spoiling Singita Serengeti Private house. With only 4 bedrooms it’s very much a home away from home in a spectacular setting. Great wildlife. 📷

Part two was three nights on Loisaba where we had the privilege of seeing a few of the black rhinos who have recently been reintroduced onto the conservancy. We have loved watching this conservancy go from strength to strength over the years.

We woke early at Serra Cafema (one of our favourite camps in Namibia ) and started moving before sunrise, walking through the cold Atlantic mist, following paths that led to one of the craggy summits above the Kunene river. I guess we had been hiking for an hour or so, sweating despite the chill, as we laboured up the steep sandy slopes, when suddenly the mist lifted to reveal the madly beautiful river valley below. We could look into Angola where the landscape glowed in the dawn light. The was no one else around. We heard a lark calling nearby, but otherwise it was silent. 📷

ery pretty light on a cheetah family yesterday evening. They moved across the pains as we watched, settling from time to time to rest and scan. Oryx and Grants snorted at them, pronked towards them and away from them. Behind us a huge storm built on the mountain.

What a spectacular way to see the Mara in all her glory- floating gently along we saw elephants, rhino, hippos, a myriad of bird life and got a sense of the vastness of the Mara ecosystem.

Complicated lion dramas, swipe through quickly. We spent an hour with these lions in the in beautiful morning light. They had all been happily feeding on zebra the day before but this male was aggressively charging after a young female for reasons that we couldn’t determine. Very thrilling to have a big male lion charge between our two cars ( the only ones there). The roaring was spectacular. 📷
