_PAINT ME PRETTY

Speed, stamina, familial bonds, and cooperatibe instincts - with the most distinctive fur patterns of them all, there's is nothing quite like being in the company of these incredible creatures.

Second to the furry golds of Uganda, these are, by far, my most favorite of Africa's carnivor.

Endangered, but on the increase, painted wolves, aka African wild dogs or African hunting dogs, are native to sub-saharan Africa, and the key to finding them is knowing where and when to go.

Soooo, find them I did this past July in Botswanas famed Okavango Delta didn't disappoint 👌🏻

Bucket list - absolutely

_MAGICAL MARA

And there she sat, in all her glory. Dappled in the afternoon light. She surveyed the land below.

Special days are worth celebrating - only in the Mara.

(Bonus - not another vehicle around)

_RARITY

It's the little things in life that count too right!

I'm happy to finally be back on the back on the road and doing what I enjoy - discovering Uganda

Today's gem - the rather rare Rwenzori 3-horned chameleon 👏🏻👏🏻

Did you know:
They have eyes that can rotate 360 degrees, hence enabling them to see all directions without moving. It also helps them to catch their prey and to protect themselves from their predators.

The Three-horned chameleon is a Rift Valley endemic (i.e., its unique to the region)

_DAZZLE DAY

"A zebra takes its stripes wherever it goes,"
- Maasai Proverb

The most identifiable animals in Africa, zebra stripes, are as unique as fingerprints are to humans, with no two sets of stripes being alike.

A highlight to many a visitor, these, charismatic herbivores can be seen in en masse during the annual migrtation - with Tanzanias Serenegeti, Kenya's Maasai Mara and Botswanas Kalahari Desert and the salt pans of the Makgadigadi the 3 best places to view them.

Today, zebra species are listed from endangered to near-threatened.

Happy World Zebra Day

_CAT - CHING

The breeze from atop her lofty perch

Elevated, agile, and alert - she scans her territory.

Without a doubt, one of the best places to see these magnificent felines is Kenya's the Maasai Mara, home to some of the most majestic of leopards who tend to throw a pose just at the right time 👌🏻
