Sometimes you just don’t feel like having your picture taken.. 📸🦌

The start of our epic 3 hike across the Loita hills with the fabulous Maasai Trails team whose families have lived amongst them for centuries.

Ahead of us a challenging but rewarding journey through the “Forest of the Lost Child” and onto the incredible scenic views.

Along the way we had an encounter with a buffalo where we saw the Maasai warriors at their finest tracking and ensuring the safety of both animal and people, learnt so many medicinal uses of plants, heard about Maasai culture and let go of control as we were led along elephant tracks and down sometimes difficult terrain all while being incredibly well catered for and looked after by the amazing Maasai team.

What a journey and what memories.
Plenty of photos to come.

Our beautiful leopard in the Maasai Mara 🐆

We followed this girl for a couple of days, she had killed a Thompsons Gazelle and taken it into a tree so stayed between there and the nearby bush riverine.

Such a joy to spend some time with this elusive cat.

My favourite pastime is watching these wonderful animals in the wild.
This beautiful pair were striding along in South Luangwa National Park, Zambia. 🇿🇲

In 4 days I’ll be heading out to the Maasai Mara and hopefully sat watching these wonderful animals again 😍

Did you know that elephants are actually walking on their tiptoes? 🐘✨

Despite their massive size, elephants are digitigrade - meaning they walk on their toes, just like cats and dogs!

What appears to be a big, round foot is actually a thick cushion of fatty, fibrous tissue beneath their toes, which helps absorb the impact of each step.

This natural shock absorber allows these gentle giants to move almost silently through the wild. 🌿

Up close and personal with orphaned elephants at the amazing in Nairobi 🐘

Watching these babies enjoy their milk bottles is both heartwarming and heartbreaking that they aren’t able to feed off their mother’s milk. 🍼

Thank goodness for the incredible keepers who love and care for them so attentively.
Each bottle brings them closer to a wilder future 🌿💚

I do love it when Facebook shows you some long forgotten memories..! 🍃💦
15 years ago exploring the dried up river while working at Elerai Camp just outside Amboseli National Park, Kenya.
Still exploring and 15 years on.

It’s the month count down to being back in my favourite place on Earth, the Maasai Mara with our first ever women’s group Walking Wild in Kenya.

The Maasai Mara was my home for nearly 5 years first working at and then . It was also the place I retreated to in Covid spending two amazing months there, an incredible time with few vehicles and those guests who did make it being extra excited by the freedom that the bush and nature gave them.

After having to cancel my first groups due to the pandemic I’m so excited to finally be able to combine my 10 years experience of the bush with my 10 years of travel planning to form these unique and very special trips and host some amazing women along the way.

Here’s to the start of the next 10 years of Walking Wild Adventures 🥂

Sigiriya, also known as Lion Rock, is an ancient rock fortress in central Sri Lanka 🇱🇰.

Built in the 5th century by King Kashyapa, it served as his royal palace and a defensive stronghold. 👑

The rock rises nearly 200 metres and is famed for its impressive frescoes, intricate water gardens, and the giant lions paws carved into the rock near the entrance.🦁🐾

After Kashyapa’s death, Sigiriya became a Buddhist monastery and remains one of Sri Lanka’s most iconic and historical sites.

Visit Sigiriya and more on our Walking Wild Sri Lanka women’s group tour. DM for details.

Did you know elephants can use tools? Well this cheeky chappy has certainly leant how to use this stick to keep his playmate at bay.. #elephantbehaviour #elephant #elephantherd #safari #maasaimara #walkingwild #big5 #animalbehaviour

Would you know what to do if you were stalked by a lion? 🦁 This cheeky young male was just a little curious as to what we were up to as our car was stuck in the mud but our Maasai tracker still gave him a could warning not to get any closer. We were safely still in the car enjoying watching the Maasai do what they do best, live with respect and harmony amongst the African wildlife. #lion #lionstalking #bigcats #big5 #maasaitribe #maasaimara #maasai #safari #walkingwild

Cheetahs engage in social grooming after meals, strengthening their bonds and reinforcing their social structure. 🐆❤️ This behavior helps to maintain harmony within the group and can also serve to remove parasites. #cheetah #bigcats #catbehaviour #cheetahbehaviour #safarifacts #safari #walkingwild

Incoming for a cuddle 🤗 🦁 #lioncub #lionking #lions #masaimara #safari #walkingwild

Meals with the Maasai 🥘 Always humbled to be asked to join a meal especially when it’s precious meat supplies and women aren’t normally asked to join. I spent a year working alongside the Elerai Maasai community so I do get some special treatment on my returns.. and they keep me grounded. Must admit I skipped the last dish… #maasai #maasaimeals #community #tribe #amboseli #elerai #culture #uniqueexperiences

Just going to settle myself here…. 🦛😍 Like many animals, young hippos maintain close physical contact with adults to help bond. Lying on the adults back is one way to strengthen this social connection, especially with the mother or a dominant adult in the group. This little one could also just be finding the comfiest place to rest its head.. 💕💤 #hippo #hippopotamus #hippofacts #sleepyhippos #animalfacts #safari #walkingwild #africananimals

It doesn’t get much more special then being able to watch elephants going about their day on foot. 🐘 #elephants #walkingwild #elephantherd #walkingsafari #zambiansafari #safari #big5

Some more from round the waterhole at the amazing @shompole_wilderness wildlife hide 🦓 Can’t wait to be back there next month to see what will come down this time 👀🐘 Follow the hide @shompolehide to see all the amazing sightings they have. #wildlifehide #africanwildlife #photographyhide #wildlifephotohraphy #walkingwild #shompole
