The secretary bird is considered a bird of prey, but unlike the others, it spends most of its time on the ground. In the Serengeti grasslands, game-drives are incomplete without the sighting of these birds. Their main prey are rodents, snakes and insects. They  are very efficient hunters which use their feet as  a major tool to kill their prey.

On a morning game drive, our spotter Yusuf saw a young  leopard on top of a huge rock, it had chosen a good spot to have a view of the vast Serengeti plains. The guests were amazed to see a young leopard barely five months old climbing up onto the rocky hill with the swiftness and agility of a monkey without falling. After a little while, he climbed down and went into the bushes below. It was the same cub that was previously seen walking with his mother.

Bull elephant blocks the road.

A solitary bull elephant near the sand river had refused to move away from our road. He flapped his ears and then shook his head in a threatening display. He did not like our presence as we spoiled his solitude. Because animals have a right of way, we changed direction and he became relaxed then slowly started to walk away.

Sundowner on the Kopje.

On a late afternoon game drive, we came upon some four lionesses having a sundowner on a huge rocky outcrop. One of them descended onto the plains below and walked casually into the nearby bushes while the other three remained. The setting sun was casting a golden yellow color on them while they relaxed as we slowly drove around. To them it was like we were not around as they were not at all bothered by our presence. These lions are part of the pride that resides the area near our camp.
