Wildlife Wednesday 🦏

The Black Rhino is listed as critically endangered, with fewer than 6 000 wild individuals remaining in Africa. Just three generations ago - there were 65 000. That’s a decline in numbers of 91%.

What can you do? Support NGO’s like and - both of whom are doing the hard yards to ensure this enigmatic animal continues to survive.

Keep your tech cables tidy and easily accessible with the small Ticket To the Moon packing cube! Maximise space in your bags, stay organised, and save time on your journey. Durable and sustainably made, this little cube is more than just practical. With included carabiners, it's ready to hang wherever you need it.

Day two at Mwiba Lodge.

A wonderful morning spent with the Datoga Tribe, a local people of Nilotic origin. The associated NGO work closely with the Datoga, and other surrounding communities of the Mwiba concession. The fund ensures a win / win / win for the local people, conservation and tourism.

Day one of our stay at Mwiba Lodge.

Out on the vast plains of the Southern Serengeti, it was a treat to catch up with the abundant herds of the great migration.

Day 2 on safari at Lebombo.

It was big cat day - the super predators stole the show!

Our first day on safari at Lebombo, was an epic 24 hours!

So good to be back at my favourite chunk of Africa, where I cut my going teeth 23 years ago!

It's Monday morning! Who else feels like this after the weekend?😌

Wildlife Wednesday 🐾

🐘 Meet the African Forest Elephant, sometimes called the Pygmy Elephant. Previously considered a sub-species, they are now classified as a separate species.

Of the roughly 500 000 elephants in Africa, about 150 000 are forest elephants and 350 000 are savanna. There have been records of hybridisation between the two in Uganda's Budongo Forest.

The main difference between the two is size. The forest elephant stands at 2,8m (9 ft) and weighs a maximum of 3,2 tons (7 000 lbs). The biggest savanna bulls stand up to 4m (13 ft) and weigh up to 6,3 tons (13 500 lbs).

The forest elephant also has pale eyes, a more rounded forehead, smaller more oval shaped ears and thinner and straighter tusks. Their feet have five nails in front and four behind (savanna have four and three.)

Forest ellies are founding the forests of the Congo Basin. Good places to see them are Gabon (where I captured these images), Republic of Congo, Cameroon, Central African Republic and Côte d’Ivoire, Liberia, and Ghana

Wildlife Wednesday.

🦎 Meet the Leaf-Tailed Gecko. These are one of the oddest of Madagascar’s oddities, and the entire family are endemic to the island (they are not found anywhere else on earth).

These aptly named reptiles are masters of camouflage. Their cryptic colouration, combined with the lacy edges to their bodies, allow them to remain almost undetectable to all who pass. The local Malagasy guides, however, do have the extraordinary ability to spot them on our walks though the forests.

They are the favoured food of an endemic bird, the Madagascar Cuckoo Roller.

They are illegally collected by locals, and are part of the international pet trade. Sadly specimens are smuggled out of Madagascar, to live life in an aquarium, on somebody’s bookshelf ☹️.

Merry Kismoos everyone!

Wildlife Wednesday 🐘

African Elephants usually drink around 100 L (26 gallons) of water per day. They have been known to consume up to 200 L (52 gallons) at once!

The trunk can hold up to nearly 10 L (2,5 gallons).

Their daily water requirement varies according to food availability, seasons and diet.

Elephants also make use of a pharyngeal pouch, situated in the upper throat. This pouch absorbs and stores water when the elephant drinks (up to 4 L or 1 gallon). The pharyngeal pouch is bigger in desert elephants compared to elephants in wetter areas. This stored water can be regurgitated to drink, or spray onto themselves to cool off.

Interestingly the pharyngeal pouch is also used for communication. The low rumbling sounds, that the early researchers thought was the stomach rumbling, are actually produced in this pouch.

🦍 Trekking Gorilla is, in my opinion, the most humbling wildlife experience in Africa. Here the silverback plays with 2 of his youngsters.
