Elephants take regular mud baths, this is important to keep the skin moisturerised. The mud also acts as a sun block.

Peter and his four guests were on game-drive around Posee plains when they came across a huge herd of elephants feeding. As they were driving through the herd they noticed three elephants trying to get as much mud on themselves as they could. Peter's guests found it interesting to watch such huge animals try squeeze and fit themselves in the same small mud hole.

Elephant feeding on an acacia. 

 Acacias are some of the preferred diet for the elephants. Today, just closer to the camp, we were  attracted to the sight of a young male elephant that was stripping the back of an acacia tree with its trunk. He had earlier on used his forehead to bend the tree so as to easily reach some of the branches.He worked on the tree for almost half an hour before supplementing with some grass beneath it.

Cheetahs  on the lamai plains.               

Ranger Deus found some three  brother cheetahs resting under an acacia tree  in the vast open plains of lamai. These cheetahs have stayed together ever since they parted ways with their mother about four years back. They do hunt and share their meals together. The lamai plains have been their home for almost two years now as it is full of Thomson gazelles which are their preferred food.

Peter and his guest left the camp at seven in the morning to capture some game sighting before becoming  hot  when most game take refuge in bushes. Peter planned in away that he could at least capture the big five country.

In the morning they was lucky as they saw a leopard hunting but luck was not with it and missed an Impala by inches.The pick of the day was on their way back to the exit of the reserve when they spotted a black rhino at the middle of the savannah. Peters' guests wondered what would a black rhino do in the open? Peter explained the difference between the black and white rhinos and further told that black can be found in the open as they feed on herbs on top of the normal browse. As they got closer the rhino stopped browsing and gazed at their car as if to pose for credible shots.

Sunset  over a big bull elephant.

The sun was setting over a big bull elephant closer to our camp. He had a big tusk and seem to have seen a lot of life over the  Serengeti  plains and woodlands.  He did not seem bothered at all by our presence as we watched him feed around the camp even after the beautiful sunset. There were a few others scattered  around  feeding on some small shrubs but they were smaller members of his herd.

When Japhet and his guests left the camp, the mission was to chance a rhino in the reserve. They drove into one of the popular rhino area and as they combed here and there the spotter saw some movement at a distance and asked the ranger to stop for a confirmation.

Everyone expected to hear a rhino but instead the spotter said it was a pride of lions sorrounding a buffalo. On arriving on the scene they found a battle that going on and everyone looked determined to win! The buffalo was severly injured and badly bleeding but still managed to keep the pride away.

The updates later was that they managed to bring down the bull the following day!!

Lion walking on the road.                       

During an early morning game drive, we watched a young lioness walk leisurely on the road towards our vehicle. She had jumped down from the top of some rocks leaving behind others. When she lifted her head up and saw our vehicle, she  stared for a while and then slowly changed directions  into the tall grass before eventually  rejoining her  pride  members back on the rocks.

When Ferdinard and his guest left the camp the mission was to chance a rhino in Maasai Mara Game Reserve. They drove into one of the popular rhino areas in the reserve and as they combed  here and there the spotter saw some movements at a distance and asked the ranger to stop for a confirmation.

Everyone in the car expected to hear its a rhino but the spotter informed that it was buffalo surrounded by lions. That seemed more interesting and the drive to the spot was instant. There were six lioness and a bull buffalo that have been fighting for unknown time and the battled was not nearing the end as everyone looked determined to win. The war would go for a while and then stop and kept on repeating until it was time to get back to the camp. The bull buffalo was severely injured and bleeding alot but still looked strong. The guest forgot the rhino search and confirmed later that it was nothing to compare with.

The following day was when they managed to bring the buffalo down and enjoyed the meal but we missed this last action.

A group of five lions  were  playfully chasing each other on top of a huge rock where they had spent the previous night because of the warmth provided by the rocks. They take advantage of the huge bushes behind  the rocks  which provide shade and also cover while  spotting  prey on the plains below
