The arrival of the wildbeests into the mara brings good news to the cats as food is in plenty making  conditions favourable for breeding. The cheetah gestation period is on average 3 month and the young ones are kept into hiding for some time before being moved around in search of save places and food for the lactating female.

Philip on a full day game drive came across this delicate family roaming the Maasai Mara plains and had ample time with the happy looking family. The guests wished them a safe survival after philip explained the dangers involved in raising the tender cubs in the enemy full ecosytem which include mostly  the lions and hyena.

Its three weeks ago when one of the three male cheetahs named the 'Artur brothers' was killed by lions in a fight. It was a very big loss to the coalition and for a few days they seemed at a loss. They did not hunt for some time and they moved away from the scene of the confrontation for over two weeks now. We have been tracking them to find out where they go and how they survive. During a Full Day Game Drive, Philip and his guests sighted them as they rested under an African wild date tree. They looked well fed and healthy. It seemed that they have accepted fate and are moving on with their lives. They have no choice but to do just that. Live must go on. But they must be careful not to get into trouble with lions ever again.

The African elephant is the biggest land mammal we have in the world and one of the most intelligent. Female elephants are very protective and caring towards their young calfs. Elephants can spend upto 18 hours feeding and take naps in between but young ones require more rest. They can sleep standing or lying flat on their bellies.

Today Peter and his four guests were having a great time driving around in the extensive Masai mara game reserve. The weather was great and at around noon they came across a small herd of ellys resting silently under a tree. As they drove closer they noticed one of the baby ellys lying flat with its mother keeping a watchfull eye. It was interesting to see how the whole herd stood around while the little one was trying to get some sleep.
