The long rains are due in April and the hot and dry season continue to bite the maasai mara. The grass is enough but dry and water supply is adequate throughout the reserve and good for the animals. The weather affects not only the vegetation but also the animals  forceing them to browse and graze close to watering point incase they need to drink or take a quick wallow. This is evident when today Ferdinand and his guest came across an elephant herd wallowing in a shallow pan. The young ones in the herd seemed to enjoy more than a lot as they repeatedly rolled on their back with their trunks raised up in the water. The guests had nice moments taking pictures of the actions at the same time watching.

A pack of 14 wild dogs were sighted in the consevancy during an afternoon game drive with guests. Daniel the Head Scout and his team were on their usual afternoon patrol when they sighted the wild dogs as they moved from within the conservancy. He immediately informed Daniel, Alex and Japhet who were on evening game drive with their guests. They followed the pack for over 20 minutes and finally caught up with them as they drunk water from a stagnant pool. The pack comprised 4 adult females and 10 pups. The guests were elated at the sighting which was a first for all of them.
