The Lamai pride holds an area of about ten square miles in the extreme north of the Serengeti. In this place there are some scattered  trees  in the vast grasslands known as  ''Desert dates'' which they like resting under during the strong heat of the day. It is below one of this trees that ranger Godson  and his guests found them during their  full-day game drive . The pride which consists of  two mature males with several females and older cubs do sometimes  break up and patrol their territories  in smaller groups or individually then come together for a hunting mission.

The “thinking” Cheetah.

We were settling down for lunch while on a full day game drive  on the Lamai plains overlooking the Masai mara when from a distance of about 200 meters emerged a lone cheetah  from the back of a dead tree. The heat of the day was very strong and the cheetah was panting and looking around as if in a ‘’thinking’’ mood. We then left our lunch for a while and drove towards the cheetah for a closer look before he disappeared. He did not care about our presence but continued to look around then crossed the border into  the Masai Mara grasslands.

Elephants “ invades” camp.

It was at about 9 am when a group of elephants decided that it was long since they paid the camp a visit. They were about 100 animals all together which included males, females with calves of various ages. They were not in a hurry as they peacefully grazed on the grass and shrubs near the tents whereby ever so often they would stop to listen and study their surroundings then continue walking slowly. The early morning sun made everybody in camp to have a good view of these mega-herbivores. Later after about half an hour, they were rallied by the matriarch to move on but left a promise to come back.

Very rarely would people come across a mother hyena in the open field suckling her off-springs as it happens with the cats. But on this day, ranger Godson and his guests were attracted to this hyena mother suckling her two babies which were about six months old. The two babies were enjoying the mother’s milk in the heat of the day in the grass as she lay down on her side. Hyenas milk is very nutritious and is the cause of the development of the strong jaw- bones that they have. When young, they have prominent spots on their bodies which disappear as they grow older.
